Need an example for acquiring a waveform from Agilent E5071B

[polcid]

Dear all,

As a new user I need an example(s) to get on the right track for acquiring a waveform (or read an analyzied result) from Agilent E5071B. I've installed the driver -"agena".

Cheers

There are several examples in the driver. Have you tried running any of them? They are on the Instrument I/O>Instrument Driver>AGENA>Example palette. if you did not know they were there, maybe you should start with the Instrument Driver Network and check the links on what a driver is and how to use one.

Thanks Dennis, I've tried to run examples inclueded in the AGENA driver, which gives me a good understanding of how they work. What I'm really to achieve in my project is to capture the screen on the analyzer and display the waveform in a graph, I've observed those examples given in other oscilloscope drivers. So I wonder how I'm be able to read the set of data from the instrument rather than a value at a marker (1 or 2).

It's been a while since I used it and I don't have the instrument now. Have you looked at the Read Data and Memory Array function?

I've succeeded in read data from 5071B with the rountine of "search bandwith", and also I found the application example inclueded in the instrument driver did not complete and would not read the data without setting tracking on.

Thanks Den.
