Agilent DSO5054A waveform read problem

I'm using the Agilent DSO5054A with GPIB connection.

I tried to get a driver but there are two ...

DSO5054A Drivers

Which one should i use?

I already have installed the IVI driver but there is the problem that the signal on the oscilloscope starts at 0 V and ends at 2.5 V on the y-axis but in my LabView programm it starts at 700 mV and ends at about 1350 mV...

Can you pls tell me what I'm doing wrong?Unbenannt.PNG

Hi WEni,

depending on what LabVIEW Version you have, I would go for the following link:

http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=1E5E6D70FCA569A3E0440003BA7CCD...

 

You copy the content to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2016\instr.lib

and run the examples.

When I open the Agilent 6000 Series Acquire Continuous Waveform.vi, the autoscale for the Y-axis is enabled. Is that the case for you as well?

Best, Niko

First of all thanks for the fast answer 🙂

I followed your description above but there is still the same problem.

I add my currently used programm build based on the data transfer between the oscilloscope and the computer down below.

I implemented a function where i can scale the x- and y-axis by myselfe so i disabled autoscale.

It seems that the computer doesn't get the right measurement values from the oscilloscope.

I also add pics of what i should get from the oscilloscope (red marked in the pictures) and what i really get.

 All four pics are in a pdf because of their big size.

 

What for is the "Configure Continuous Acquisition" vi?

 

Best, WEni
