what and where is the best software for controlling the E3632A power supply?

[rpm9150]

Hi,
I'm trying to get the E3632A DC power supply  to be controlled by my computer. I'm using a Agilent USB to GPIB cable, but the intuilink software I  found isn't that useful for controlling the voltage. Does anyone know what and where is the best software for doing this? I've downloaded a few things, but nothing is working out right.

Thanks

What your's application development tool? C++, LabVIEW, LabWindows? There's drivers for all environments at http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niid_web_display.drv_results?p_app_area=&p_man=agilent&p_keywords=3632&p_...=.

If you're looking for a tool to develop applications, then my favorite is LabVIEW

An alternative to the link in Dennis Knutson's post (if that doesn't work for you) would be to go to www.ni.com/idnet click Search Drivers and then select Manufacturer: Agilent Technologies and type 3632 in the Additional Keywords field.

Thanks!

If you use LabWindows/CVI or LabVIEW, IVI-C driver is the best. 

If you use VB6.0 or any .NET languages, Agilent E36xx IVI-COM driver may be the best choice.  As Agilent IVI-COM drivers are not available at NI site, go for Agilent site:

If you use C++, both IVI-C and IVI-COM are the best.  It is up to your preference.
