Does JVisa support requesting and parsing binary block data? about jvisa HOT 18 CLOSED

Right now JVisa does not have a method to parse a binary block. I think it is easy, I will add it.

Documentation in this discussion: #10 (comment)

Links to PyVisa functions:

• query_binary_values
• read_binary_values
• parse_ieee_block_header
• parse_hp_block_header

from jvisa.

We look forward to your upgrade of the JVisa library

from jvisa.

Please post a sample of the data you want to parse. You can use the VISA Test Panel in NI-MAX. I only need to see the beginning of the bytes.

For example, a screenshot from dist:data? on a Rigol oscilloscope returns

#9001152054BM6\94\11\00\00\00\00\006\00\00\00(\00\00\00\s\03\00...

from jvisa.

The following is the data
1: Write Operation (:WAVeform:DATA?)

Return Count: 15 bytes

2: Read Operation
Return Count: 1024 bytes

I added code on branch add-data-block. I can take a screenshot from my instrument:

byte[] bytes = instrument.queryBinaryBlock("display:data?");
Files.write(Paths.get("screenshot.bmp"), bytes);

Check the programming manual for your instrument about waveform:data?. For the Rigol DS1000Z series oscilloscope, it says

Before reading the waveform data in the internal memory, you need to judge whether the waveform data can all be read at one time according to the memory depth of the oscilloscope and the maximum number of waveform points that can be read each time.

from jvisa.

When using the new method, such an error was reported, "in viRead(): VI_SUCCESS_MAX_CNT: The number of bytes read is equal to count (0x3FFF0006)"

from jvisa.

Below is the programming documentation for the instrument I am using.

from jvisa.

When this problem occurs, pyvisa handles it as follows:

from jvisa.

The VI_SUCCESS_MAX_CNT status should be handled, see

and

Sorry, I just copied part of the code, now after copying all the code, it can work, thank you

from jvisa.

The following is the return value obtained by sending the "waveform data?" command using PyVisa and JVisa, and why they are different. The first picture is the result of pyvisa, and the second picture is the result of JVisa.

from jvisa.

I think it is different signed vs unsigned interpretation of byte primitive. Try this

for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) {
    System.out.println(i + " = " + Byte.toUnsignedInt(bytes[i]));
}

from jvisa.

yes,thank you ,I get it

from jvisa.

Hi, if the queryBinaryBlock() method works, can we close this issue?

from jvisa.

Yes, we can close this issue.

from jvisa.

Is it considered to publish the newly added part as an official version?

from jvisa.

Yes, I plan to make an official release with the newly added features

from jvisa.

Released in 2.0.0
