Phase measurements
Phase measurements
(OP)
Hello and thanks for a chance to get some feedback.
What I'm trying to do is quite simple in concept and hope I am going about it correctly.
I have an Agilent 34410A DMM and need to measure the resistance of an AC servo motor between phases (3 values), and then have it automatically take voltage of same phases after another motor is spinning it.
I would like to not only have data saved in a file but also have voltage displayed after each phase.
Any suggestions would be grand and thanks all very much

RE: Phase measurements
I guess my question is what would be best code structure to use. I would love it to prompt user to switch to a specific phase and then another popup with value and graph. Hope I'm explaining myself here. Thanks

RE: Phase measurements
I'm guessing you must be a newly minted engineer; the reality of the world is that there is no such thing as the "most efficient" or "best" ANYTHING, because not everyone needs or wants the exact same thing. Engineering is about finding a compromise amongst a bunch of competing and mutually opposed requirements. There are tradeoffs made for EVERY product in the world. Labview will do the job exceedingly well, and if you are not horrifically concerned by speediness of loading, etc., then what's the problem?
As I pointed out, you did not define what you meant by "efficient." For whom? For which requirement that you have not stated? As a good engineer, you should be able to point out the shortcomings of any product you come across and relay them as required to ensure that your recipient is not misled.
You may live for creating software drivers and user interfaces, in which case Labview is certainly not "efficient" for your needs, but unless you clearly articulate your needs and wants, what you really expect for an answer?

May I point out that LabVIEW, in my expereinces, is not dog slow. It can do some things faster than, say C, while other tasks it does run slower.
The Pro version I use has an Instrument Driver Project creator built into it (I have not used it). LabVIEW is quite efficient at building user interfaces.
I agree with you, it does have its warts, as do all IDE's.
