driver hp-4142b

[Pratik Shah]

Yes, I have taken a two-day labview workshop from NI. The reason I am baffaled because I dont know anything about the instrument. And the connectivity between the instument and the labview, could not have been tested.

Thank you for your help.

Pratik,

If you are using LV 8 or higher this link will show you how NI provides for quick driver generation, which among other things auto-generates the code!

Good luck!

Pratik,

I may have found some more driver helps for you in the form of possibly related 4142 drivers. The NI site has HP 4155/4156 drivers. Since the 4155/4156 and the 4142 are multi channel instruments, the 4155/4156 drivers may be a good point to start from for 4142 drivers. Also, probably best when looking for drivers to search for the model # under the mfg only. This should allow the best chance of finding all drivers that are available. I found the 4155/4156 drivers under Analyzer, but not Power Supply. I guess I was applying the IVI class names in this case and almost missed these drivers.

Hey, Deanosity

Thank you for the link and suggestion. It was helpful.

I am trying to use gpib-visa.VI gpib.vi examples and I am able to communicate using them.

Thank you for your help.
