NI-DAQ learning

[CVN]

Hello,

 

I am learning to Data Accquisition chapter now.

My question is I have connected my PC with GPIB cable to Agilent 34970A and with USB to NI-8451 ( I2C).

When I open DAQ Assistant labview, it appeared a new window called Create New... and I click Acquire Signal - Analog Input - Voltage,

The message said, " --No Support Device found".  Even I have Agilent 34970A and NI-8451 connected to my PC.

 

Can you please help me this issue? I might be missed somethings here

 

Thanks

 

Ken

You have to have an NI DAQ card.  Something like the USB-6009 would likely work for you.

You've run up against the difference between the Measurement I/O and Instrument I/O pallets.  Try using the Instrument I/O Assistant.  You'll be able to communicate with your Agilent 34970A with that.

Thanks Jcarmody,

 

I tried to use Instrument I/O Assistant, but when I click Instrument Assistant pallet, the message appeared, "Measurement and Automation Explore or the instrument I/O assistant is not installed correctly"

 

Thanks for your time.

Have you tried installing/repairing MAX and/or the Instrument I/O assistant?
