How can I Save and Load the Configuration File of a VNA HP8510C with LabView

[geraudIWE]

Hello, I'm working with a HP8510C. In order to simplfy the use, I try to save and to load the configuration file. Actually, such files are saved in the HP8510C, but there is only 4 places to save. It will be more interresting when I can storage this file in the computer with Labview. I don't have found anything about in the Documentation.
Has someone already deal with such a question?

Hello GerauIWE,

Have you try to use the Hewlett-Packard 8510C Instrument Driver?
You can download it on :

Thanks for your answer. I have already download and use the Drivers. I can do many things with. Change the configuration as I will, but thing by thing... I use the application exemple, and too the Sub VI.

My problem is that you can save your configuration in the HP in a file, that avoid you to re-do the calibration, qnd the configuration. The problem is that there is only 4 place to save this file with a resolution of 801 points. I try to be able to load and save this file from my PC.

There is a HP software which seems to be able to do this, but I wonder if it also exist a Command Line I can use in Labview. I have to work on this, however.
