I have never used the 4192, but am familiar with the 4194a. I can
easily get 20 cap readings/second in a loop. Cap readings typically
happen quickly. What parameters do you have set up in the 4192 for
the cap readings? Are you doing a sweep of many frequencies? Using
averaging, etc.? What are
I'm only doing measurement at a constant frequency, 100 Hz. And I am
using the Averaging function on the keypad of the 4192.
As for going on to the next measurement, I'm not using any control,
that I know of. I (naively) assumed the instrument would make a new
measurement with each increment of
Are you using 6.0 or 6.1? I can convert it to 6.1, and may have a
version of it somewhere in 6.0.2.
Unfortunately it says 'Version 6.0', or '6i', which I'm assuming are
one in the same.
Sorry, there's something I don't get.
Where is your sub vi for the instrument?
From the looks of things, the capacitance value is examined to see if
it is within the range 500 to 800, which stops the execution. This
value seems to be coming from the 'Fract/Exp String to Number'
structure.
If
I just checked the 4192 manual, and at a frequency of 100HZ, and a
mode setting of Average, the measurement time is 1052 ms. This means
that no matter what you do with the GPIB, you won't be able to
increase the measurement time. You could try to switch the mode to
either High Speed or Normal,
I'm running my HP 4192 Impedance Analyzer in a FOR loop to take a new
measurement (of Capacitance) at set intervals. I can't get the
intervals any smaller than 1 second, regardless of using the Labview
Wait ms sub vi. Also this doesn't seem to be a Labview issue,
because when I remove the
