Labview and ZPlot, OLE automation

[Kabanga]

Hello Everyone!!!

I got some questions and I hope I'll get some answers to my questions in that forum. I'm new and I like to be here.

ZPlot is a software used for electrode impedance measurements( using Solartron 1260 and 1287).

Labview is used to call that programme using the method "OLE Automation". This function allows us to acces many of the ZPlot functions,to load ZPlot setup files,

set the data file name and trigger ZPlot to start measuring. Labview can also monitor the progress of ZPlot so that it knows when the impedance measurment is finished.

Labview can then switch to the next measurement,change the ZPlot data file name and start the impedance measurement again.

My question is: using the invoke methods "Start Sweep", "GetPointsRemaining" (returns 0, if there are no points remaining), "SetDataFile" and others (please, see the attached file), how could you automatized the measurements?

I mean, we set the number of measruments (clicking LEDs on the Front Panel) to be done, we start the measurement. As soon as the first measurement is finished, Labview switch to the next and so on till all set measuremnts are done.

Thank you for any help.

Best regards
