Task 3 Activity and Accomplishments

GPIB-USB Adapter Installation and Testing

Expected NI GPIB-USB-HS adapter

Received POLOGIX GPIB-USB adapter (cost consideration), Jan. 25, 2017; interim setup report submitted Feb. 1 2017.

Download and install PROGLOGX GPIB-USB, completed successful

Connect the PROGLOGX to a HP 3478A DMM• Start LabVIEW, then use LabVIEW => Tools => Measurement &

Automation Explorer to view the connection and port info of PROGLOGX GPIB-USB adapter -- successful

But no able to find a tool to program PROGLOGX with proper GPIB address. To be continue!

15

Task 3 Activity and Accomplishments

1st version front panel & documentation Part Number

• Combo Box control

Purpose

• Create a list of strings of part number, the user can cycle through, such as a pull-down menu

• Allowing the user to “Selecting and Entering String” at run time

• Event: Value changed

• *Need to add the number of heater elements to be measured

Where to find it in LabVIEW IDE: View => Control Palette: Modern => String & Path => Combo Box

Task 3 Activity and Accomplishments

1st version front panel & documentation Part Number

Performed functions

• Read min, nominal, max resistance values, and number of heater elements to be measured from the “Lot Number: Customer Job CVS file” which was converted from Customer Jobs in a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet file

• Display Min, Nominal, Max values in their specified indicators

• Initialize a Resistance Value Reading array with the order number from customer job sheet
