"Unfortunately I was unable to find a driver for this instrument at http://ni.com/idnet. This leaves you with one of a couple options. It may be possible to modify an existing driver to work with this instrument. Otherwise, http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/other. htm states a few options to obtaining a driver. NI only writes drivers for standalone instruments in the eight IVI classes(DMMs, Scopes, Function Generators, Switches, Power Supplies, Power Meters, RF Signal Generators, and Spectral analyzers) that communicate via GPIB, Serial, or TCP/IP, so a driver cannot be written for your instrument. It would also be beneficial to notify the instrument manufacturer, they often have drivers for multiple programming languages. If they do not, you may want to hire an
Alliance Member to write an driver for you.
