HP3516A Device Driver

[Curt_C]

I'm looking for a device driver for a old HP3561A
signal analyzer, to use with Vc++ or VB. I didn't
find one at the Agilent site and other places...
Does anybody know where I can find one, or if one
even exists?

LabWindows/CVI driver is available on http://www.ni.com/idnet.

This can be used in Visual C++. If you build DLL library you can use it in VB too.

Here's an entry discussing the use of LabWindows/CVI instrument drivers in Visual Basic.

Here's a link to the CVI instrument driver for the 3561A:

Hello:

Thank you for contacting National Instruments!

You could find a driver for this instrument at http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/default.htm . If it's not listed there, it leaves you with one of a couple options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/
We develop drivers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.
If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
http://zone.ni.com/idnet/development.htm
We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in
National Instruments' products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would suggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:

Hope this helps. If you have any questions, please let us know.
