driver agilent power source 6811b/6812b

[chancho]

Hello,

we are using Labview 8.0.1 and want to use a 6811b AC source via GPIB.

Does anybody have a driver for this source ?

Maybe a driver via RS232 would also help, but GPIB is definitly preferred.

Remark:

drivers for 6812B model might also work due to the difference is only the output power capability

Thanks a lot in advance !

There's a 6812A driver available on the Instrument Driver Network. You can also do a search from LabVIEW. Use Tools>Instrumentation>Find Instrument Drivers.

the 6812A is an analyzer, no AC source - perhaps you have another idea how to solve this issue.

Hello Robert,
    I also highly recommend that you give the driver a try.  Depending on how the Initialize VI is coded, you might need to either disable the ID Query OR add the 6811B and 6812B to the array of strings listing the supported models.

Let us know how it goes,
