where will i find drivers for the agilent spectrum analzyer

[Sim5]

Hello All,

I am using spectrum analyzer of agilent company (E series ESA, E4402B), i want to read all the data from spectrum into my PC so which drivers to use i dont know. If anyone knows i will be very glad.

Thanking you,

pals

In LabVIEW, go to Tools>Instrumentation>Find Instrument Drivers or go straight to the Instrument Driver Network.

There are IVI and LabVIEW project style drivers.

Thanks a lot... 

I got the required Drivers but the thing is this downloaded drivers i need to copy in C:/programs/national instrument/ Labview 8.5

Which i have done when i have used Rsspecn drivers for R&S Spectrum? How can i see vi's related to this drivers. i opened certain examples but few VI i was not able to see so???

Hope i am clear in my problem.

Thanks in advance....

You did not follow the instructions correctly if that is the path. You need to place the driver in the instr.lib folder.

Yup... I did it.... Thats why i asked as i was not able to see....

[Dennis_Knutson]

Well, you said you placed it in C:/programs/national instrument/ Labview 8.5 and that's not correct. If you actually did place it in the inst.lib folder, there should be a folder under that called 'Agilent ESA PSA Series' and under that are 'Examples', 'Private', 'Public' folders, some 'Agilent ESA PSA Series' files, and a dir.menu file.

If you want, use windows explorer to show the contents of your instr.lib folder with every thing related to the Agilent folder expanded. Take a screen shot, save it as a png file, and attach it.

Ya in same folder i have placed... and i need to program to get the screen shot of the Spectrum....

[Dennis_Knutson]

Why do you need to program anything? You just need to press Alt-Prnt Scrn. Open Paint and do an Edit>Paste.

No u didnt get it... 

I have to see the Spectrum for different freq on Spectrum analyzer and for each freq i need to capture the screen and that which i have to put in excel....

Hope i am clear what i have to do in Labview....

What you said was "How can i see vi's related to this drivers." which I took to mean that the driver functions were not visible on your palette. Thats a lot different than not being able to see a spectrum on the instrument. I really don't know what your problem is now.

Whether you can see the functions on the palette or whether you can't see a spectrum, you will probably need to look in the manual to see whether there is a command to take a screen shot. I've always taken an image of my LabVIEW front panel as something much simpler to do.
