Spectrum analyzer gui example

[hankrausch]

I am trying to construct a GUI to control and display an Agilent E4408B spectrum analyzer.

I have created a serial connection to the spectrum analyzer and have managed to control it and query for frequency and power using SCPI commands

sent across the serial link, so I know the serial connection works.

However I am getting nowhere in trying to make a GUI using Labview. I have downloaded the drivers and there seem to be bits of the functionality I need

but I do not know how to "hook up" the serial connection to these bits.

Does anyone have an example of a similar applcation in Labview? It does not need to be an agilent specan, any instrument that has driver supprot and uses serial communication would be a good example.

Many thanks!

Hey,

Here is the instrument driver for E4408, the instrument driver uses GPIB communication, but if you want to communicate usign serial you can modify it to make it work with serial commands as well.

Hi NIer,

I am new to Labview and trying to build a GUI controlling Agilent E4408B using GPIB-USB-HS. I have downloaded the driver (plug and play) from NI website however the downloaded document makes me confused where to start. Would you mind sending me a proper tutorial document please? Any suggestion will be highly appreciated!

I need this to be done urgently and hope you can help!

Thanks a lot!
