It's working now

Thank you for Your answer! I use a nullmodem cable, and I get response on the *IDN? query. I use the HP34970A sample read thermocouple temp.vi. First i go the errormessage 225 on the Agilent instrument. 225: Settings conflict: DMM disabled or missing This command is valid only when the internal DMM is installed and enabled. Should the internal DMM of the instrument be turned on? I tried to turn it on and i got error 305: Not able to perform requested operation The requested operation is not valid for the specified channel. You may have tried to a configure a channel for current measurements (valid only on channels 21 and 22 on the 34901A module). Or you may have tried to configure scaling on a module that does not connect to the internal DMM. I am trying (at first) to read temperature throug a 4W RTD, and I configure channel 101 (who correctly pairs with n+10=111). I use 19200 baud, 8-bit, no parity for the COM settings. -A

Hello, I am trying to acquire temperature measurement through a 4-W RTD with Agilent 34970A. I want to get this measurements into LV8.2. I have installed the LV-drivers that comes with the Aqilent DAQ-unit, but I can't get any of the examples to work. I have installes the NI-VISA 4.0 drivers and I find the VISA resource name ('ASRL8::INSTR') in my controller. My Agilent 34970A is connected to my computer with an RS-232 through a USB2COM device (MosChip). I've tried to run the VIs in the example, but no data appears...help :\ mvh Arild (.no)
