Unfortunately I was unable to find a driver for this instrument either. This leaves you with one of a couple options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at:

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 sug

Try http://ftp.agilent.com/pub/mpusup/vxipnp/index.html.

If it is not listed there, chances are there isn't one. I know this because I ran into a similar problem with another Agilent equipment. You might want to consider writing the driver yourself using VISA calls. Follow the guidelines provided by NI and you'll be fine.

Let me know if you need help.
