Agilent n1912a Labview drivers

[CanadaGuy]

Has anyone spent enough time with the Agilent N1912A (or 1911) power meter to have a library for the basic functions (perform reading, initialize, etc)?

Hello,

I am not familiar with the instrument, and unfortunately, we don't have an instrument driver for it on ni.com/idnet (it looks like you already tried that). I would suggest you contact Agilent though to see if they perhaps have a driver for you. Good luck!

You can try the LabVIEW driver for the Agilent E441X Series Power Meters available on the NI Instrument Driver Network.  I'm not sure how compatible the N1911 and N1912 models are with the E441X but it might be worth a try.  You will need to disable the ID Query in the Initialize VI before calling other VIs.  At the least, you can look at the source code and it can give you an idea of how to use the instrument commands to communicate with an Agilent power meter.
