Agilent E5070B: error when using "configure calibration VI"

[parallelmar]

while testing LAN communication to Agilent's network analyzer E5070B with the "agena Configuration Application Example.vi" an errror came up.

It seems to me that there is a bug in "agena Configure Calibration.vi" which is being called during execution of the example vi.

In my case, it helped to amend the impedance declaration string with the decimal point declaration:

old: :SENS:CORR:IMP %lf
new: %.;:SENS:CORR:IMP %lf

Can anybody tell, if this issue is really a problem for all users?

(or only for users with german country settings as there is obiously a problem with decimal point declaration)

It's probably a very common problem in all countries that do not use a decimal point separator. I know that many will deselect the 'Use localized decimal point' option instead of rewriting the driver.

Thanks Dennis! That's it! 

(tools -> options... -> frontpanel -> deselect "use localized decimal point")
