What is the correct syntax for the HP-IB command "LABK"?

[lvoroney]

I am trying to write a save/recall calibration kit vi with Labview and I would like to be able to issue the command "LABK" followed by the name that I would like to give the calibration kit. I keep on receiving a syntax error.

LABK is not an IEEE 488.2 common command such as *IDN?, *RST, etc. so that means that it's instrument specific. You instrument's programming manual should have the details on it's syntax. If you would provide the name of the instrument that you're trying to program, you could probably get a lot more help from someone here.

Thanks, I figured it out. The cal kit name has to be surrounded by quotes, as in "LABK "name";". (This was for the HP 8720C network analyzer.)
