MTX1054 oscilloscope using USB connection

Hi

 

I have got Metrix MTX 1054B virtual oscilloscope that I would like to control using LabView. I tried to find driver for this equipment, but it looks like it has not been written yet. I tried to create my own driver, but I experienced following problem:

 

When I open MAX, I can see the device is detected. Unfortunately when I tried to communicate to the instrument in LabView, the device is not detected.  I tried to configure NI-VISA to communicate with oscilloscope using tutorial from http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4478/en website, but during the process following error occurred:

I am relatively new user of LabView and this is my first driver I intended to create. Can you help me with this? I have attached MAX screenshot too if it helps. Thank you.

 

Best Regards

 

Krzysztof

So, before you went and created the VISA driver, you deleted the driver from the vendor and you also received from the vendor all of the low level details on using USB RAW? You also decided not to use whatever api the vendor might have available?

Hi.

 

I actually managed to find drivers for this instrument from vendor. I copied .dll files to instr.lib directory. Now I can see all the VIs in LabView. But still I can't comunicate to the instrument, because, however MAX is detected it, I don't know how to configure VISA. I tried to use Driver Wizard but could not complete the configuration. Does this help?
