How can I control AWG2021?

[Ihsan]

I'm trying to control tektronix AWG2021 using GPIB with labview, but the library for 20XX or for 40XX don't seem to work well with this device... anyone knows a better resource?

Where did you get your AWG2021 driver for LabVIEW? Did you get it from one of our instrument driver CDs? If so, which one? We only have a LabWindows/CVI driver for the AWG2021 on our website.

I've actually written code to control the AWG2020 and AWG2021 series
waveform generators in the past. It's not very hard if you can get
the manuals. The protocol is SCPI based like a lot of these test
instruments.

Basically there are few commands for setting up clock rates and
loading pre-stored waveform files in the system and activating them.
I used the AWG2021 as a source for digital modulation patterns for
testing Agilent Technologies ESG443x series signal generators w
hich
could use external waveform sources or their own internal generators
while I worked for Motorola CE in Plantation FL.

If you have a commercial project please send me an email and I will
send you my resume.

  I am using  AWG 2021 to generate Waveform. I have converted CVI drivers available on NI site to AWG2021 LabVIEW Driver. I have arrays of voltage data with timing information.Now I cannot able to plot these values in the AWG. After plotting I need to output these Wavforms from Ch1.

I have tried my best.Please help me .

Thanks in advance.
