can not get formatted data from Hp 8753 vi

I am trying to transmit my measured results on the Hp 8753C network analyser to Labview using the vi found on this website. The problem is that i can not include the calibration correction into my results, neither can I save the calibration state. If I for instance do a full 2-port calibration and than query the instrument for which calibration it is in, Lv comes op with no calibration active. However if I do the same but instead of using the calibration state vi, I query the instrument through visa assistant formated I/O window where you can communicate with an instrument, I get the a positive response, it detects the right calibration. The same for transmitting the calibration array, reading in visa works but causes trouble in
the calibration state vi using the same syntax.
If anyone ever used the Hp 8753.vi ( I think so as it is written by you guys)and knows the problem let me know. Tx

Last year I have written a HP8753C LV6I application based on a downloaded driver. It worked fine. What exactly did you use?

So how do you get the correct results, do you start off with saving the calibration and the state?
In the mean time i am able to get the calibration data and save it, the same for the state.
But still, the actual measurement is transmitted without the correction.
There is a vi who checks if the correction is on, in my case it doesn't matter if it is on or not, I always get correction off.
The vi I use is the only one available on this website and I use it on LV 6i.
Bye for know

The stuff I downloaded contained two main VI's: The "Getting started" and the "Example" VI.

If you just want to read out the calibrated data delete the "save/recall state","save/recall cal" and the "cal. on" subVI from one of the above mentioned VI's and you are able to collect the calibrated data. This always works if you calibrated manualy and stored the cal. in the NWA. Be sure to use always teh SAME number of points and put the "HPIB diag" on the NWA to "on" so you can see were things go wrong if they do so.

It just doesn't work with me, when I leave all the above mentioned vi's in the Example vi,I still get my results with correction turned off.
The number of points are the same, HPIB diag doesn't tell me much usefull information.

What to do?

Bye for now,
