What Driver for Agilent 2000-X Series Win NT / Labview 6

Need to Integrate a 2000-X series into an old AT system.

Win NT

Labview 6.0


Could use help getting started - not sure if this setup will work or what drivers will be compatible with this system?

What sort of driver are you looking for? There's an instrument driver at http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=9E84674573AF6AB8E0440021287E6A... but you'll have to get it down converted at the version conversion board. What sort of connection are you going to use? At the very least, you'll need NI-VISA.

I believe all the neccesary drivers are there after lookiong into it further.

 

NI-488.2 and NI-Visa 2.6 are installed.

NI MAX version is 3.02.3005

Connection is GPIB.

 

Seems that I could use the DLL flexible prototype adapter in Test stand to utilize the functions in the GPIB32.dll of the NI-488.2 driver.
Looking for a little direction or clarity on what approach to take using this instrument with this setup.

 

Just learning the ropes and not too familiar setting up to send/rcv SCPI commands to control instruments.

Thanks for any/all replies

I would suggest that you first try to get the instrument driver converted to your very old version of LabVIEW do that you don't have to use the VISA dll. You should not have any need to use the lower level GPIB functions.
