The various functions in the driver allow you to configure the Rubidium and GPS
modules within the 3352e. They also provide a means to retrieve information from
these modules. For detailed information on the driver, consult the help
information in the help file “ri3352e.hlp” that is included with the driver.
Using the LabVIEW Driver
The LabVIEW driver provides the means to control and interact with the 3352e
from within the National Instruments LabVIEW programming environment.
The first step in using any of the VIs in the LabVIEW driver is to initialize the
instrument using the “ri3352e Initialize.vi”. You can select this from within a
LabVIEW diagram by right-mouse clicking and selecting
Instrument I/O -> Instr Drivers -> Astronics ri3352e ->ri3352e Initialize.vi
Once in the diagram, the VI must be supplied with the instrument descriptor for the
3352e. This will be assigned by the VISA software provided by the PXI controller.
A typical instrument descriptor is “PXI28::15::INSTR”.
