Need a PNP driver for the E1968A application for Agilent 8960

Does anyone have a plug and play driver for the GSM/GPRS/EGPRS Test Application (E1968A) for the Agilent 8960?

I received an alpha version from Agilent, but it does not seem to even have full support for the GSM commands, and has no support for EGPRS.

Thanks in advance

src75082,

National Instruments does not have such a driver but perhaps Agilent could provide one. If not then perhaps someone in the community has developed one. For more information on developing your own driver (if that is a feasible route!) look here:

Developing LabVIEW Plug and Play Instrument Drivers

and...

Instrument Driver Network

As a final step you can submit instrument driver requests to National Instruments at the following location:

Instrument Driver Request

Hope that helps!

When I got the alpha version from Agilent, they said:

"Attached is a prototype 'plug and play' driver for the Agilent E1968A GSM/GPRS Test Application. Agilent has no plans to further review it or to formally release it. This prototype was completed in mid-2003, and has been used by a few customers.

This driver is provided "as is", with no guarantees of function, and no warranties. We are interested in customer feedback, but can make no guarantees that we can respond, or that we will modify the product to correct problems or make improvements. (For example, it has never been updated or modified, so it does not include EGPRS functions)."

I plan to update the alpha version to include the additional functionality needed if I am unable to locate a more complete driver.

I already put in a request on the NI driver request page.

I just thought I would give the forum a try before I got too far in to the driver modifications.

If anyone has an updated version that they would like to share, please let me know.

Thanks again.
