RIGOL DSA800 Series - LabVIEW Driver installation LABVIEW 2019

[gminetti]

I tried the example files included in the driver package for RIGOL DSA815 downloaded from the web page at

https://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=CA1FA4FE2A1C6B71E0440021287E6...

I tried all 2018/2018/2020 versions. None of these worked with LabView_2019 (the only version not covered). From the screenshot you can see that the various sub.vi functions are missing/corrupted.

By launching the example files, the instrument goes in remote mode, but after a while the following error message appears.

 

Any ideas on how to fix it?

You need to look at the commands that the driver send. 

Look at Configure Sweep. 

Does the "Format into String" format string use g or f as number format. 

I had problems with the format string for all Rigol DP800 driver vi's.

Thanks for your support, the Configure sweep code is:

Try to change %g to %f

There are sooo many things wrong with that driver. I have complained before about this (although, I cannot find it atm)

Here is my "correction" to the sweep configure, but I did not leave myself any notes why I did it.

**WARNING**  "\Public\Data\Low Level\Wait for Acquisition Complete.vi" is just plain WRONG! Luckily, it does not break your code. And no, I did not fix it either.

Good luck!
