Where can I find LabView examples for the ESG, PSG, MXG, and E8663B signal generators?
This is an example of the IVI-COM driver used in LabView. Use this link from National Instruments to download and install the LabView driver for your signal generator model: www.ni.com/idnet
Then locate the example in the following directory of your PC:
C:\Program Files\IVI\Drivers\KeysightRFSigGen\Examples\Labview\KeysightRFSigGenIviDriver.vi
The driver is set up to use LAN, but you need to enter your hostname on the block diagram. To do this, follow these steps:
- Load the example from C:\Program Files\IVI\Drivers\KeysightRFSigGen\Examples\Labview\KeysightRFSigGenIviDriver.vi
- Click on Window, Show Block Diagram
-
Change the address from "TCPIP::
::INSTR" to your hostname. - Change "simulate=true" to "simulate=false"
- Run
Alternatively, if you want to use GPIB, follow these steps:
- Connect the instrument to GPIB and set the GPIB address to 18.
- Load the example from C:\Program Files\IVI\Drivers\KeysightRFSigGen\Examples\Labview\KeysightRFSigGenIviDriver.vi
- Click on Window, Show Block Diagram
-
Change the address from "TCPIP::
::INSTR" to "GPIB0::18:INSTR" - Change "simulate=true" to "simulate=false"
- Run
