Hi P.L,
i don't have experience with the 4156A, maybe we can help you with general SCPI/GPIB programming.
if there is a command for the required function, its easy to implement this, but please study the command manual. If you found some commands i'll try to help you.
for general GPIB Documentation have a look at this kb:
Where Can I Find Documentation about the SCPI Specification?
cheers

Thanks for trying to help.
unfortunatly there will be no possibility to achieve the desired function.
I contacted Agilent Technologies and they told me:
"...4156A could not receive any GPIB command during measurement. It shows an error message. “Error 54: System busy, Measuring. Unfortunately it is not possible to acquire data during a sweep, because the entire trace needs to fill the array before the data can be sent to PC ..."
so I have to try somrthing else.
cheers
