LV8.2 driver to Agilent N5182A

Can anyone tell me if the driver already exist to this Vector Signal Generator?
I assume it would be not much of a difference fromt he typical formation as used in hpesg and agesg driver packs...
Thanks in advance,
Boris.

Hi Boris,
Here is a link to a tutorial that describes how to use the IVI-COM drivers in LabVIEW. The usual IVI instrument drivers are IVI-C instead and would be a bit easier to use. However, the IVI-COM drivers should work. I hope this helps!

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.

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.

Help file for the Plug and Play driver of Agilent Technologies E5071C

I just download the Plug and Play driver of Agilent Technologies E5071C from the below link:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=5692
I find that there is only some examples and not any help file with detail description for each input of those VIs. Although there is brief description for each VI when I press "Ctrl+H" on the VI,I still can't figure out how to use this driver. :-(
Is there any help files with more detail description?
Or any related examples for my reference? I hope to measure the S11 and S21 of the SMA cables

The driver implements the commands defined by agilent.
So look in the agilent programmers manual to find the meaning and how to handle the instrument.

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!
Go to Solution.

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.

Found driver for Agilent E3633A but it is for V6.0 LabWindows. Is it ok for V8.5.1?

I have a Agilent E3633A power supply that I am trying to communicate with on GPIB. I have a Agilent 82357B USB/GPIB that connects my PC to the power supply. I am having trouble talking to the power supply. I saw some posts on the subject and saw there is a driver for the E3633A. I downloaded it. The download page said this was for LabWindows V6.0. Will it be ok to install it for LabWindows V8.5?
I am also looking for some code examples that use the Agilent 82357B USB/GPIB to communicate with instruments. Have not used GPIB on LabWindows before so I am struggling a bit. Any suggestions are appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Don Pearce

The power supply driver is probably fine, especially if you have the source code with it.
If it is a VISA driver, you will need the version of VISA that is compatible with your interface. In this case, with your Agilent interface. I personally have no experience with that equipment as I have always used NI GPIB interfaces and NI-VISA to keep things simple.
You may need to contact Agilent technical support for the interface issues.

Anybody has a LabVIEW 6 driver for Agilent 8510C?

Hello. I have LabVIEW version 6 and I am trying to talk to an Agilent 8510C network analyser. I seem to be able to communicate with the instrument only for sweep, number of points, etc, but I cannot transfer any data from the 8510 to the PC (to export data to Excel). I tried saving data to memory, and using the "outpdata, outpfrmt, outpraw" commands to transfer numbers to PC with no luck.
The NI site has only labVIEW 7 and 8 driver versions, so I am stuck. Has anybody developed anything for L.6? Any help much appreciated

Give this a try. In the future, if you need other drivers, it would help if you would attach the driver from NI's site. It's pretty simple to do a save for previous version assuming someone still has older versions of LabVIEW still installed. A lot of us do so it just makes it easier to do the down conversion if you attach the file you need converted.

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!!!

Labview driver for agilent 8164A tunable laser

I'm working on a project that involves setting up our Agilent 8164A lightwave measurement system in labview. I cannot locate the driver software on the NI website. Please let me know where I can download the driver for this equipment. Thanks.

Actually we don't have a driver for that instrument in our website, so that means that we also don't have it in the CD. So you may want to check the Agilent's website, or as a matter of surprise, I found in our database one document that was talking about some past issue and it involved the 8166 instrument, so the author attached the driver for this instrument so we can reproduce what he found out, so I'm attaching this file here which is the file the previous Sr. mention, "hp816x", I installed it in my computer and run it and it is an Agilent made driver, so you can use this one or try to contact the Agilent people. Also you may request a LabVIEW driver been made for this instrument, please see the details at: O
ther Driver's Resources from our download site.
Good luck!

Driver for agilent AC source 6811b/6812b

Hello,
we are using Labview 8.0.1 and want to use a 6811b AC source via GPIB.
Does anybody have a driver for this source ?
Maybe a driver via RS232 would also help, but GPIB is definitly preferred.
Remark:
drivers for 6812B model might also work due to the difference is only the output power capability
Thanks a lot in advance !

What Driver for Agilent 2000-X Series Win NT / Labview 6

Need to Integrate a 2000-X series into an old AT system.
Win NT
Labview 6.0
Could use help getting started - not sure if this setup will work or what drivers will be compatible with this system?

I believe all the neccesary drivers are there after lookiong into it further.
NI-488.2 and NI-Visa 2.6 are installed.
NI MAX version is 3.02.3005
Connection is GPIB.
Seems that I could use the DLL flexible prototype adapter in Test stand to utilize the functions in the GPIB32.dll of the NI-488.2 driver.
Looking for a little direction or clarity on what approach to take using this instrument with this setup.
Just learning the ropes and not too familiar setting up to send/rcv SCPI commands to control instruments.
Thanks for any/all replies

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.

How to suck signal from Agilent N5182A Vector Signal Generator

Hi all,
I just recently acquired LabView Full and i want to see the spectral display from the SigGen in labview. The SigGen is detected and communicates in MAX, but don't know where to start in writing a VI to read the SigGen. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
btw its connected through GPIB to a ethernet/gpib convertor and ethernet to the computer if it helps any.

Hello,
The SCPI command programmers guide contains the cmmands that you send to the instrument. As in one of the previous replies you can go to the NI website and get the drivers for the instrument. It might be a good idea for you to look at the existing driver and compare the commands to the programmers manual to get a understanding of how to control the instrument. The drivers on the NI website are broken up into sections, there is probably a "data section" which might contain a vi to read the data from the instrument.

NOTE Norrtelje AB

Let's try again...
Try these steps:
1. Follow the link in my previous post.
2. Download the "CVI" version.
3. Extract the zipped contents into a temporary directory.
4. Start LabView.
5. Open a blank vi.
6. Under TOOLS => Instrumentation => select "Import CVI instrument driver"
7. Select "HP5313XA.FP" from your temp directory.
8. It should select all already, so simply click on "OK".
9. Let it convert.
10. Go back to the "new" block diagram in LV.
11. OPEN a file called "HP5313XA.llb". It is located in the instrument library inside your LabVIEW directory.
12. Select the vi you want (ex: initialize.vi)
13. It will be in VISA.
