Agilent Vee 8.5 and pico ADC11 usb

Post by jasu »

Hello.

I have downloaded and used the Vee example program.

Questions:

How to use 2 ADC:s same time?. Open somehow each, and use handle to select correct adc11?
And usage of setDo function (digital output)? As i have not been able to change output state.

Hi I have personally not used Agilent Vee. However whenever you want to open another device you need call the open unit multiple times, each with a separate handle. There are two digital outputs, 0 and 1, you can set them high and can set them low, 1 and 0 respectively.

Kind regards

Ok, thanks. I finally solved this problem by just testing.

But other problem occurs still (and that was one reason for not getting stuff to work):

If I run my vee program, all is ok (devices are opened, and I can read and set values), and call to closeunit() gives return value of 1 (so unit is closed), and leds on units turns off. But if I after that start again that vee, nothing happens (vee freezes), only thing that helps is to remove and plug back units to usb port. After that one time works again, and after that problem occurs again ...

Any ideas ?
