Labview Ivi Driver For Mac
Hi Guys, I am new to IVI drivers and I do not understand how to properly incorporate The IVI driver for an E8257D RF signal generator into my LabView program. I have installed the drivers and updated my IVI compliance package to version 2.3. The documentation which covers setting up MAX refers to and outdated version of MAX.
1-1 Recommendation Of IVI-C Driver LabVIEW has a capability to import IVI-C instrument drivers. Although it is possible to use IVI-COM instrument drivers directly, it is much easier to program using IVI-C instrument drivers if they are supported. (Kikusui IVI instrument drivers contain both IVI-COM and IVI-C instrument drivers.).
I am really not sure what to try next. I want to try adding the driver session for the E8257D to MAX but I do not know where to find the DLL. I see the Driver session for a spectrum analyzer (agesa32.DLL) but I do not know how to add the DLL for the RF Signal Generator.
There is an entry in the Instrument Driver Software Modules folder for an RF generator which includes support for the E8257D however the DLL field is blank. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Forrestjon. Hi Dennis, Thanks for your quick response. I did run a setup program.
I found several dll's in my C: program files IVI BIN directory. I am trying to use the AgilentRfSigGen.dll which I found there. Yes, this was provided by Agilent and not NI.
After updating MAX with the link to the DLL I ran my program again and received the following error: IviRFSigGen Initialize With Options.viDriver Status: (Hex 0xBFFA1203) Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFA1203) The session name or logical name could not be resolved to a session or driver session.Elaboration: IviConfigServer.IviConfigStore.1: GetDriverSession failed. The specified name or logical name F1SigGen can not be resolved to a DriverSession.
It seems to me that I have something wrong in MAX or would this be an IVI-C versus IVI-COM issue? Thanks, Forrestjon. Similar Threads: 1.
Hello I was trying to find the driver for Signal generator Agilent E8257D, couldn't manage to get one in NI website, so i tried in Agilent which resulted me in geting the V COM driver. I installed this driver file, but when i moved to the functions palette in the lab VIEW to look for the instrument i/o to find the installed instrument driver in the pallete it cannot be viewed. I cross checked in the instr.lb folder where in i cannot find the installed file of the Agilent E8257D.What should i do to install this driver in this folder?
Usually the instrument drivers are getting installed in c: program files national instruments labview6.1 instr.lb for other instruments i can see some VI files installed in this folder. For this V COM driver how do i install and see the VI files?? To use it in the lab view. Hi all: I have a labview program to controll the HP6613C DC power source, written on Labview 6. It used the vi files of hp66xxbc.llb.
It is working well on the old version labview. When I run this program in Labview 8.2 on a new computer, the error message is 'This application has failed to start because ivisupport-c.dll was not found. I have copied the ivi.dll and ivisupportc.dll to the new computer. I have tried copying them into the Labview 9.2 folder or win32/system. However, it doesn't work.
Could you see what wrong it is? We run LabVIEW 6.1 under W2000 with all the latest updates installed, using a PCI-GPIB NI-488.2 card; IVI Compliance Package 2.0. Even though we have set our device (a LaCroy LC564A oscilloscope) up with MAX, LabVIEW seems to ignore our settings - the IVI resource I/O constant is always empty and all attempts to run our application in non-simulated mode (and sometimes in that too) result with errors (many different ones but all mentioning the resource cannot be resolved). The hardware has been checked and works well, using the same hardware asset as a VISA resource gives no problems whatsoever. I figured out the issue.
We are currently switching between the 5104 and 5104b models of the Tektronic scopes. When using the 5104b I had to supress the ID query to get it to pass the initialize vi within the IVI drivers for some reason. This was not needed for the 5104 model, but I left the suppression in the code so it would work for both models. Today, I was troubleshooting and found out that when the ID query is set to false, it only allows channels 1 and 2 to work and when it is set to true everything works properly. Therefore, I have a properly working vi for the 5104 model only (since the ID query doesn't work for the 5104b). However, I've decided to use the standard instrument drivers instead of the IVI now, so the issue is solved on my end. Hi husni h, I am not familiar with this device, but as far as I know, it is very old and may not support these commands from the IVI driver. Some devices allow the user to choose what command language to use (i.e.
SCPI commands or other commands), but on some devices do not allow this option. You may want to check with the manufacturer to see if IVI is even an option for this particular device. If I am wrong about the instrument, please let me know and I will investigate further for you.
LabVIEW 2017 Help Edition Date: March 2017 Part Number: 371361P-01 » This topic describes the structure of the LabVIEW file system and the suggested locations for saving files. Organization of the LabVIEW Directory Structure This section describes the structure of the LabVIEW file system on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
LabVIEW installs driver software for GPIB, DAQ, VISA, IVI, Motion Control, and IMAQ hardware depending on platform availability. The labview directory contains the following groupings after you complete the installation. Note LabVIEW modules and toolkits you have installed might create additional directories within the labview directory. Libraries.
user.lib—Directory in which you can you create. LabVIEW displays controls on palettes and VIs on palettes. This directory does not change if you upgrade or uninstall LabVIEW. vi.lib—Contains libraries of built-in VIs, which LabVIEW displays in related groups on the palette. Do not save files in the vi.lib directory because LabVIEW overwrites these files when you upgrade or reinstall.
instr.lib—Contains instrument drivers used to control PXI, VXI, GPIB, serial, and computer-based instruments. When you install National Instruments instrument drivers and place them in this directory, LabVIEW adds them to the palette. Structure and Support. menus—Contains files LabVIEW uses to configure the structure of the and palettes. resource—Contains additional support files for the LabVIEW application. Do not save files into this directory because LabVIEW overwrites these files when you upgrade or reinstall. project—Contains files that become items on the LabVIEW Tools menu.
ProjectTemplates—Contains starting points for common LabVIEW design patterns that you customize with the dialog box. templates—Contains templates for common VIs.

(Windows) Access the readme files by navigating to the labview readme directory. (Mac OS X and Linux) Access the readme files by navigating to the labview directory. Suggested Location for Saving Files LabVIEW installs the vi.lib and the resource directories for LabVIEW system purposes only. Do not save your files in these directories.

You can save your files in the following directories:. user.lib—Any controls or VIs you want to display on the. Note Save subVIs in the user.lib directory only if they are usable, without modification, across projects.
Paths to VIs in user.lib are relative to the labview directory. Paths to subVIs you save elsewhere are relative to the parent VI.

Therefore, copying a VI from user.lib to modify it for a special case does not change the path to its subVIs located in user.lib. If you want to copy a VI and its subVIs to another directory or computer, do not save the VIs in user.lib because when you run the top-level VI from the new location LabVIEW references the original subVIs in user.lib. instr.lib—Any instrument driver VI you want to display on the palette. project—VIs you use to extend LabVIEW capabilities. VIs you store in this directory appear on the Tools menu. wizard—VIs you store in this directory appear on the File menu. www—Location of HTML files you can access through the Web Server.
help—Any VIs,.hlp, and.chm files that you want to make available on the Help menu. LabVIEW Data— Any data files LabVIEW generates, such as.lvm or.txt files. You also can anywhere on your hard drive to store LabVIEW files that you create. When you open a VI you place in the labview help, labview project, and labview wizard directories from the Help, Tools, or File menu, LabVIEW opens the VI in a private (NI.LV.Dialog).
