Vi for Agilent E4446A HPE4406

[Barb]

Hi; I am trying to write a Labview vi for a spectrum analyser from Agilent (E4446A), which I have only for a few days. The resources of Agilent didn't help.
Is there perhaps someone who could help me? Someone who perhaps used the same who has already written up .vis for this analyser. The only thing I would need to do is to have access to the center frequency, videa averaging and the read out of the trace.
Any help would be great.

I did download plug and play drivers for HPE4406 which should work with the Agilent (E4446A). And with a lot of help from Ni these were translated to labview vi's, but in the end it doesn't work...

Hi,

Although I haven't worked with this device, I was looking through the E4446A web site. I noticed that this instrument offers the PSA Series Option 266 - HP 8566/68B Programming Code Compatibility, which would allow you to use the programming commands of the older model spectrum analyzers.


You can find a LabVIEW Plug and Play Agilent Technologies 8566B LabVIEW Plug and Play Instrument Driver instrument driver. This driver is made completely in LabVIEW, so it should be easy to analyze.

Hope this alternative helps or at least provides more ideas.
