Does anyone have any VIs written for HP 8751A Network Analyzer?

[JayK]

I am trying to automate a test station using a HP 8751A Network Analyzer. I can't find any info/GPIB commands to save my life on this matter. (searched NI's and Agilent's website). If anyone know, please let me know. Thanks.

Have you got an answer to your message.If not, have you develloped something by yourself?
I'm interested in driver for HP 8751A Network Analyser.
If you have any information , please contact me.

I am also looking for VIs written for HP 8751A Network Analyzer. If anyone has please may I have a copy?

Hi,
I am currently working with the HP 8751A too and i m trying to comunicate with it  using LabVIEW.

I have already manage to establish the GPIB connection, but I m facing difficulties with the correct command set. The communication requires specific HP-IB commands based on the original HP documentation.

If anyone has already developed LabVIEW VIs or a method to extract trace date (like with the OUTPDATA command), i would appreciate your help.

Any advice or exemple or guidance would be extremely valuable.

Thank you in advance !

I'm assuming you already have access to the programming manual 8751A Baseband, IF and RF Network Analyzer, 5 Hz to 500 MHz [Obsolete] | Keysight. 

I have not worked particularly with this instrument, buit sometimes they expect a certain sequence of commands before they  properly respond witht the measurement. 

Are you able to replicate one of the examples on the documentation with successfull results ?

Thank you for your answer.

I do have access to the HP 8751A Programming Manual.

However, when I try to replicate the examples (such as sending OUTPDATA), the instrument does not respond correctly.

I receive a HP-IB error on the analyzer's screen, and LabVIEW returns GPIB communication errors (error 6 during read operations).

I have ensured that the instrument is correctly connected and configured on the GPIB bus.

Despite that, it seems the HP 8751A does not recognize the commands as expected.

Maybe the device expects a specific command sequence, or special initialization before it accepts output commands.

I don't know if anyone successfully communicated with the HP 8751A directly via LabVIEW  without using a HP BASIC.

Thanks again!

I kept saying OUTPDATA but it's actually OUTPMARK for this one (I  was confusing it with other instrument's commands sorry )
