Hp 3589a driver needed!

[happybird]

Hi!

Anyone has the labview driver for Hp 3589a network analyzer? Thanks!

Hi happybird:

I could not find any drivers for this instrument.  You can always put a driver request in on NI's idnet.  Also, you can use the Instrument I/O Assistant or just regular VISA code to communicate with your instrument or even write your own instrument driver.

Hellow!

Could you please let me know more detail about   "Instrument I/O Assistant"? does it come with the labview? thanks!

Hi happybird:

That depends upon what version of LabVIEW you have.  Assuming you have LabVIEW 7.1 you can find the Instrument I/O Assistant, in the Instrument I/O palette from the block diagram.  If you put one on your block diagram it will open up a wizard that will let you set up some code that will initialize your instrument, then write to and or read from it.  This is a way to do some basic communications.

I have attached some basic VISA code to this post also, that should get you started.
