Instrument driver for Agilent E5061A network analyzer

Is there a instrument driver for the Agilent E5061A network analyzer ? I couldn't find one neither on NIs Instrument Driver Network nor on Agilents site.
We are using Labwindows/CVI as development system.

Yes we are talking about the same driver, but i dont know why hp871x.c file was removed. However, hp871x.h and hp871x.fp are included.
Anyhow, look this comment into hp871x.cpp file:
In addition, if WIN32 is defined, _CVI_ may also be defined to indicate that the program is being compiled under LabWindows CVI.....
I guess it is not so hard to modify this source code (from hp871x.cpp to hp871x.c). Sorry for disturb you!!!

Instrument driver for agilent 8960 to run CDMA tests

Hi, just wonder if there is an instrument driver for agilent 8960 to run CDMA tests? I know 8960 has E1963 and E1968 driver, but 1963 is designed for W-CDMA and 1968 is for GSM/GPRS/EGPRS. So is there a driver designed for CDMA mode? Thanks a lot!
Solved!

Unfortunately, it does not appear that there currently is one. When I search the Instrument Driver Network I only find the two drivers that you pointed out.

Anyone has an instrument driver for Agilent E8364 50GHz PNA

Does anyone have a working instrument driver for the E8364 50GHz PNA? I am currently tryin to use the agpna instrument driver downloaded from NI but i am having errors. The PNA balks that the "query is unterminated" and then the VI times out. Please let me know if you have a working instrument driver.

Is this the driver you are downloading?
If so,
- Are you running the Getting Started VI to test communication?
- Did the ID query pass?
- Make sure you have VISA 2.6 or later installed.
- Try running NI-spy with with the Log to File option enabled and post the spy capture.

Does anybody have driver for HP8756A scalar network analyzer? thanks

or driver for similar HP equipments

Hello --
Although we do not have a driver for the HP 8756A, you can submit a request for an instrument driver through our request database at http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/. Your request may be considered for development. We try to develop instrument drivers according to popularity. Unfortunately, we cannot develop instrument drivers for all the requests we receive.
If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver, we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help you in your development. You can find this information on our website at http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm.

Looking for LabView 6i GPIB-USB-A driver for Agilent E7401A

I am looking for LabView 6i GPIB-USA-A driver for Agilent E7401A EMC ANALYZER.

Hi,
There is a driver for this device available for downloading from the National Instruments Instrument Driver Network. Here is a link to the download page:
Multi-Environment Certified IVI Instrument Driver
Unfortunately, however, this driver is only available for 7.0 and 7.1. Unless someone else on this message board has created one for 6i, you will need to create your own.
The other option is to upgrade to LabVIEW 7.1, which I highly recommend. There are many improvements over LabVIEW 6, including Express VIs, Event Structures, and many others. You can see the new funtionality of LabVIEW 7.1 with a free online demo version at this link
Try LabVIEW 7.1 FREE Online
If you are interested in upgrading, you can call your National Instruments Technical Sales Representative at (888) 280-7645. Have a great day, and good luck with your driver search.

Instrument driver for Anritsu-MS2683A

Hello,
I am new to LabView. Does anyone has the Instrument driver for Anritsu-MS2783A( spectrum analyzer).
I am having a hard time to get it.
Thanks,

Ok. Seemingly, instrument driver for that model is not updated. As u can see only available driver is for MS2602A, which has been released in 1995. If there is no big difference between 2 models, i assume that u can use the driver of MS2602A. At least, it should be same for main features, but it is labwindows/CVi type. U might ask the venter which one of the NI certified drivers is suitable for ur instrument.

Looking for Labview driver for Agilent 4294A (HP)

Help!
I've been browsing the driver database looking for the Labview GPIB driver
for Agilent(formerly HP) 4294A Gain-Phase Analyzer.
Does anyone know where I can get it?

Hello all,
NI is interested in developing LabVIEW and CVI drivers for the Agilent 4294A. I have been trying to obtain one of these units on loan from Agilent for the past couple of years with no success. If anyone can spare their 4294A for the duration of driver development or can influence Agilent to loan a 4294A, NI will write certified CVI and LabVIEW drivers for it.

I am looking labview driver for Tektronix TLA704 logic analyzer

I need this labview driver desperately, I am very appreciated if you have it and courtesy me a copy.
Thanks

I did some looking around on the Tektronix web site.
Tek does not seem all that interested in supporting the
TLA704 in particular, or LabView(tm) for logic analyzers
at all. IMHO the Tek site sucks when you need to find
information in depth.
I looked through National Instruments site too. Now on this
site it was easy to find what I was looking for. Good job.
Developing a LabVIEW instrument driver for a logic analyzer
looks to be a non-trivial task for anything more involved than
starting a capture and waiting for the data to log. Depending
on the driver it could be real slow getting a load of data from
the logic analyzer.
It might be better to use the TLA programmatic interface
(TPI) to run the TLA704 by remote control over the Ethernet.
All the support for this comes with the analyzer software.
Though it's really painful to get it setup in Windows 98.
This way you could create a Windows program that runs
on your workstation to connect to the TLA704, set it up,
start a run, and download the data. Once the data is in
your workstation you can reformat for use by LabView.
I don't know that this would be easier than making a
LabVIEW instrument driver for a logic analyzer, but
at least all the software exists right now to control
the TLA704 remotely.
Charles.
I don't work for National Instruments,
or Tektronix or use LabView. But I use
logic analyzers way too much.

Instrument Driver for Advantest R6243/6244

Has anyone developed the instrument driver for Advantest R6243/6244 and willing to share the driver? Thanks!

Hi Rebecca,
There are several drivers for other Advantest products in NI's Instrument Driver Network, however I didn't find any driver that specifically matched the R6243/6244 voltage/current generator, and I didn't find anything on Advantest's site that could point me to a quick solution for you. Unless another user has developed a driver that they could give you the code for, it looks like your best bet from this point is going to be to request a driver, if you haven't already. You can do this by going to the Instrument Driver Network, and following the link to "Request Drivers". Hopefully this helps you on your way. Good luck!

Driver for HP 1661C Logic analyzer

I'm looking for an instrument driver for an HP1661C logic anlyzer

Hi,
Unfortunatly we do not have a driver for that instrument at www.ni.com/idnet. We do have some similar instruments such as the 1650B 80-Channel Analyzer. These drivers could be a good place to start at when developing your own driver. We have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm
We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments' products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would suggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:
http://www.ni.com/alliance
An instrument driver is a collection of functions that implement the commands necessary to perform the instrument�s operations. In short
, someone read the instrument user manual and implemented some of the functionality in a program for the end user. Instrument drivers are not necessary to use your instrument.
There are example VI's in LV on Instrument Connectivity. If you go to the Help menu >> Examples.. >> I/O, you will see a couple and Examples.. >> Fundamentals for File and String manipulation. I would suggest tweaking them to suit your application. Also the specific command that your instrument responds to can be found from it's manual.
Some useful resources for your application are
ni.com > NI Developer Zone > Development Library > Instrument Connectivity
http://search.ni.com/?col=alldocs&layout=TechResources&ql=a , to search examples and knowledge bases
Hope this helps!

Trouble using the instrument driver for the "hp8753b"

I am using the instrument driver for the "hp8753b", specifically the "collect and display data" driver. I manually set my settings to the analyzer and run the VI (i.e. set start frequency to 500 kHZ and stop frequency to 1 GHz), when the VI runs with the "collect and display data" it defaults to start frequency 1 GHz and stop frequency to 3 GHz. I have tried to modify the driver to only collect data and not to modify any settings on the analyzer but I run into errors. Any help on this is appreciated.

Hello,
I have installed the instrument driver you mention in your post. I am looking at the Collect and Display Data.vi, however I need more information from you to determine why your sweep is defaulting back to 1GHz-3GHz.
When you say "I manually set my settings to the analyzer" are you making these settings directly on the analyzer? The Collect and Display Data.vi seems to read all of the settings from the hardware, I did not see any configuration in the VI. What modifications were you making to the VI and what errors were you getting?
Can you see the range on the instrument? If so , can you determine at which point the range defaults back to the higher range? Running in highlight-execution mode in the VI and running NI-Spy (Start->All Programs->National Instruments->NI-Spy) to perform a capture of the GPIB commands can help to determine at what point the errors are occurring. It will also let you see if there are any commands being sent which cause the instrument to be reset.

Looking for Keyence Instrument driver for LV.

Looking for instrument driver for LV developed for the Keyence LS-7500 series micrometer. Has anything seen any or done this already? Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW I have already checked NI's listing of instrument drivers to no success.

Hello-
There are no drivers listed for this instrument at http://ni.com/idnet. You may want to contact Programmed Test Sources to see if they have a LabVIEW driver for their instrument. If they don't, you can easily create a low-level driver by configuring an I/O assistant VI for each function in the manual. Once you have this low level driver you can just combine functions to make higher level VIs. Alternatively, you can hire an Alliance Member to write an driver for you.

HP 54501A - Instrument Driver for LabView v.7 or v.8

Hi all,
I'm looking for HP 54501A - Instrument Driver for LabView v.7 or v.8. I have NI gpib/usb controller installed, but cannot control the scope via Labveiw.
The link I found at NI web site within drivers section seems to be broken so I couldn't download it!
Please, anyone, suggest/help!

The link you were given works for me. You can try it again. The given link brings you to a page where the CVI and LabVIEW drivers are listed. the direct link to the LabVIW driver is http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9455659CE034080020E748... .

Manfred,
You could look for a driver for another Keithly model or try one for a
different brand. They may be similar enough to modify easily. I realize this
goes against the idea of SCPI and standards but it is the best we have now.
Good Luck
