Hello everyone, I have some issues with an Agilent 8164B Lightwave Measurement System, is there a driver for this device to work with labVIEW?, at the Programming Guide it says that I should "convert it" but I think this option is only available with older labVIEW versions (I have 8.6). Actually I'm able to see the device with MAX and perform Read, Write and Query commands. I hope you could guide me through this and start working with this device. More details: - Running on Windows 7 - LabVIEW 8.6 - Using GPIB interface Thank you very much in advance for your time. - Gozto - PS: Of course I'm asking here because there was no driver available at ni.com 🙂

Do not confuse the plug and play driver with the LabVIEW wrapper. The plug and play driver (the dll, etc.) needs to be in the IVIfoundation folder. In the \instr.lib folder should be the LabVIEW llb functions that are CLFN to the dll. Attach an image of windows explorer it you are going to attach any image.

Ok, I think I finally understood what you were you refering to.

1. Installation of the driver,

2. Download the wrapper files
3. Unzip them to instr.lib

Thank you and I'm sorry for not catching the idea at the first try.
