How to read a specific value from yokogawa to labview

[Carmihaleo]

Hi i would like to read specific numeric values from yokogawa with labview the values i want are not present in the preset for labview. 

I wrote a program but i seem to have a problem with the write function.

I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you,

Carmen.

The error seems to be coming from the read because that is were i am getting errors

So you write a "1" command to your device and expect some useful response?

Does the manual of your device mention such a command?

Did you read the programming manual for your Yokogawa to understand all its (SCPI) commands?

Did you read the manual to learn about how to properly format commands, included any expected TermChars?

Could you at least hit CTRL+U before posting a picture?

Hi sorry that was a mistake.

i am trying to display the value of urms for example. 

do you know where i can find the synthax for that please.

I am literally lost with the manual i have difficulties sometimes finding what is where. Thank you so much for your help i know this can be frustrating for you as it is something that should be obvious

You will find the syntax of all commands in the manual of your device -  I will not start to read that for you…

(There should be atleast one chapter explaining all those SCPI commands supported by your device!)

Thank you for the suggestion. I have just found the right command. Thank you

I have been using Yokogawa power analyzers for years and there are LabVIEW drivers in the IDnet for just about every Yokogawa instrument

Hi,

Try the examples that are shipped with the driver package.

In the examples you can also see how to read values. 

And read the manual !!
