Agilent 8753E VNA

Is their any code that I can use to extract the 4 graphs (S11,S12,S21,S22) for the VNA either in separate graphs or all on the same graph?

Hi Preitano,
I understand that you have an Agilent 8753E and would like to create four graphs from the output. You should be able to plot the graphs on either the same or different graphs with LabVIEW.

There is a driver for the HP 8753E available on our website at www.ni.com/idnet. This is probably the best option for manipulating the instrument's output in LabVIEW. If that doesn't work, then you have a couple of other options. I perused the 8753E's manual on Agilent's website, and it looks like you can output the instrument's data directly to a file or an application. Printing the data to a file might be the best option as you should be able to read the file from LabVIEW and create the graphs. The 8753E outputs data in HPGL (HP Graphics Language) format. I f
ound a VI which might help interpret the data on the following website: http://www.hamiltondesign-consulting.com/Utils.htm. You may want to give it a try if the other options don't work.

Thanks for contacting NI and good luck!
