I wrote some vi's for this as I was starting to write a driver for this I will see if I can find some of them and post them. I f you have the programmers manual you can figure out the commands and use GPIB.

Hi!jhoskins:

I have downloaded your HP 3589a.VI program, but i couldn't find the place to input the instrument address.  Is it a instrument driver? Thanks!

Hi Happy bird

This is not and instrument driver. However I have started making one but it will be a while until I get back to it. The GPIB address is set to 10 if you need to change this then all you have to do is open the subvi's supplied and change the 10 to whatever address you want. I am giving you some all of the vi's I have for this instrument some of which are not tested and I do not in anyway gaurantee them to work. if you need anything else just ask. I have pretty good knowledge of the instrument and I have all the manuals for it.

Hi! jhoskins:

 Is the main program HP3589A_grabit_70_ver2.vi? i run this program and set my network analyzer address "10", but the signal did not show in the graph chat. Could you please let me know the right way to show the sweep frequency spectrum in the graph chat?  thanks!

Try making sure you have the trace set to B or go into the code and change Calc2:data to show calc1. This may be it. If not tell which grabit program you are using. Are you using the one that I sent to you or are you using the one downloaded from the link unc sent to you. Let me know exactly what you want to do and I will try my best to help you. Do you have the programmers manual for the product.

Hi! volman:

Thanks a lot for your help, i use the one you sent to me, "the hp 3589 instrument driver",i open the vi "hp3589 _grab_70 ver2.vi", in " HP3589 analyzer.llb"i can not find the trace B in this VI. i did not use  "Visa drivers for HP3589.llb", is that a problem?

[Joe_H]

Forget changing the code for now just make sure you have the trace on the spect an set to trace B. What are you trying to measure.

Hi! Joe:

I change the trace input in "trace data.Vi" to B, and  i open the vi "hp3589 _grab_70 ver2.vi", in " HP3589 analyzer.llb" but when i run "hp3589 _grab_70 ver2.vi", the signal still did not show up. should i do something else?  I am trying to determine the nature frequency of a quartz resonator, which need to use the network analyzer to get the frequency spectrum of the resonator. Thanks!
