How to use labview to control HP network analyzer

[sherry_xin]

Hi,

I has a HP network analyzer 8720D connecting with my laptop by a USB-GBIP cable. I want to use LABVIEW to control to analyzer doing measurement and collecting data. What should I start? Where can I get the labview program to control the analyzer? 

Thank you.

Help>Find Instrument Drivers. Then go to the Instrument Driver Network and read all of the links about using drivers.

1. If you don't have LabView download a 30 day trial from ni.com.
2. You will also need to download the current 488.2 driver so that you can talk to your USB-GPIB.
3. Last as Dennis suggests go download the driver for your NWA and read up.
