Problems trying to control Keysight E4990A with the Labview plug and play drivers

Good afternoon, 

I'm trying to control a Keysight E4990A impedance analizer and I've come across several problems with the display of the traces I'm trying to show in said analizer. Right now, in the code attached I've set up some characteristics of the traces I need to read, but when it comes to show those traces in the analizer window in the way I'm supposed to, I can't seem to find any subVI in the plug and play driver that does this from me. I need to show 4 traces separately, then change the Y-axis format of the traces between linear and logaritmic and auto-scale them all. This are things that you can do in the Keysight alone, but I would need to program so labview does it automatically. I've also tried to find information about the Keysight analizer so I can use the VISA drivers instead, but couldn´t find anything useful, so I'm basically stucked with the plug and play drivers and I don't know if they can do the job. 

If anyone here has some experience with similar drivers, please let me know if I can find a solution for this. 

Thanks.

The Plug n Play drivers are actually SCPI commands through VISA.  You can look inside to get an idea of what they are doing, but there is a programmer's guide somewhere.
