Labview Automatic Measurement Examples

[Low Hwang Chee]

Hi I'm totally new to the Labview..
The Equipment I have are Signal Generator, Spectrum Analyser, Network Analyser, Oscilloscope and so on.. I have already connected the GPIB cables to all the equipment and the equipment are able to be reconised under the MAX.. My question is there any simple examples on the Labview that I can refer to so as to control the equipment from the laptop
Maybe for eg: changing the Frequency on the Spectrum Analyzer using the Labview program on the laptop and getting the results on the laptop screen..
This would be a great start for me
Thanks

You would need to know the specific instruments (make and model). There are many drivers available. Different manufactures use different commands for setting equipment variables.

If you reply back with the info I will try to help.

The Equipment that I have are
1. Agilent E4438C 250kHz-6.0GHz
ESG Vector Signal Generator
2. Agilent E4438C 250kHz-4.0GHz
ESG Vector Signal Generator
3. Agilent N3382A 300Khz-6.0GHz
PNA Series Network Analyzer
4. Agilent E4443A 3Hz-6.7GHz
PSA Series Spectrum Analyzer
5. Tektronix TDS3034B 4 Channel Color Digital Phoshor
Oscilloscope
6. Rohde & Schwarz TV Messender SFQ
7. Hewlett Packard E3631A 0-6V,5A/0-25V,1A
Triple Output DC Power Supply

These are the equipment that I have, hope that it can make my question clearer

I could only find drivers written for the E3631A and E4443A (from the instrument download section). You can use these as the template to write for the others. Another choice is to use the manuals. Take the command sections, and put them in a spreadsheet(tree format) each model having its on page. Then use a state machine to retrieve the correct command. See example
