Some of these instruments do have drivers or ones for very similar instruments. They are the 8920,4416,8657,8901,8560,TDS540. I haven't gone to any of the vendors sites to see if there were any more you might have missed. You should also know that drivers labeled as 'plug and play' but not LabVIEW, can be converted to a LabVIEW driver.

If your search still comes up short, you have a few options. At https://www.ni.com/en/support/downloads/instrument-drivers.html you can make a request for a driver. NI does drivers based on demand and there is no guarantee when or if they will develop one. You can develop them yourself. The above page has links that will help you with this. Developing a driver is not an especially difficult task. You can use the Instrument I/O Assistant or just regular VISA Read/Write to control the instrument. You can hire someone to write the drivers for you. NI has the Alliance Program at https://www.ni.com/en/partners.html. Some members specialize in driver development. You can choose one of them or someone local.

Just go to http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niid_web_display.drv_search, select Agilent for all except the scope and enter the model number. For the scope, select Tektronix and search for 544. I'm not sure of the exact differernecs between this and the 540 but it's a starting point.

In LabVIEW 7.1 or lower, go to Tools>Instrumentation>Import CVI Instrument Driver. I know there's a tool for 8.0 that you have to download but I'm not sure of it's name or location.

The LabVIEW Instrument Driver Import tool can be found on the IDNet Development Tools and Resources page:
