GAIN PHASE Data collection from HP4194 using a GPIB card?

I'm trying to collect gain and phase data on a HP4194 using a GPIB card. I'd like to collect this data and run it to an MS Excel spreadsheet. Does any one have any VI's that do this??? So far, I haven't been able to find any commands that read each of the 401 elements to labview.

HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF DATA I WANT TO READ:

Please email me at timothy.dahlin@computalog.com, if you have a solution. Thanks.

That sounds like a bit of LabVIEW coding. Here's some resource that will help:
-The instrument driver for this device is available at ni.com/idnet.
-LabVIEW has a WriteToSpreadSheet.vi on the File I/O function pallete.
-The Programmer's Reference for the 4194 gives the strings to send of the GPIB bus.
