Hi,

This sound as if you use a third party driver palette with LabVIEW. The documentation and the support for this is provide by the manufacturer of the device and the driver. Unfortuately, I have no additional ressources to help you with that.

Have you tried contacting the Agilent-Support?

The PNA driver does not have the vi to full support what you want. The SCPI commands to do what you want are:

MMEM:STOR:TRAC:FORM:SNP MA; - to format the data in Mag dB Phase linear.

CALC1:DATA:SNP:PORTs:Save '1,2' , 'local file name on PNA file system.s2p' - to create  PNA local files of s2p data

MMEMory:TRANsfer? 'controllerfilename.s2p'  - to transfer the datafile from PNA to test controller using GPIB block transfer.

You will have to create these SCPI commads and VI's for yourself as the driver does not have them built in.

Good luck.

Here is a VI that pulls a file from the ENA and saves it on the PC>
