Anyone used the VTI EX1200 series DAQ/DMM?
« on: June 07, 2014, 10:45:54 am »
Hi all

Basically, the DMM in the EX1200 switching unit/DAQ (I think the model is EX1200-2165) does not have a set of bus commands such as SCPI, seems it can only be controlled by its own software or a program incorporating its IVI driver, which makes it a pain in the arse to program in a calibration environment such as Fluke's Met/Cal. It can be done, but I would have to get write external programs in C/C++ and run a Met/Cal command to call the program blah blah blah, long-winded...

This however gets even more complicated if the unit needs adjusting. The proprietary software provided has a cal/adjustment routine requiring specific kit, which we just dont have, so I want to write my own program, but I can find no reference to calibration commands in the manual, only the basic setup commands using the IVI driver. I need to be able to access and change the cal factors, etc.

Any thoughts anybody?

Also worth mentioning that I am new to IVI drivers, only ever dealth with programming in old proprietary GPIB commands and SCPI, and my C++ knowledge is limited, but I was trying to make this a project.

Thanks
