driver for hp 54720D?

I'm searching for a gpib-driver for the oscilloscope hp 54720D. I'm using labview 5.0.1 and 6.i. can somebody help me.
I already found a lv 6.0-driver for the hp 54720A, but it didn't work. First I got an error 1223 (Equipment identification inquiry missed). After I had changed the ID inquiry in the driver in the "HP 54720A initialize.vi" on hp 54720D, I got with the call of the "HP 54720A example.vi", which is contained in the driver, an error 1300 (device-specific error). There must be a difference between 54720A and D. I have already asked Agilent for information but I'm still waiting for answer. More importantly for me would be a driver for lv 5.0.1, since my predecessor already developed some programs with this version and so my boss would lik
e to change the version only reluctantly.

I have searched the National Instruments database and the Agilent database and had no luck. It appears that NI provides an instrument driver for the HP 54720A but not the D. In response to your desire to get a LV 5 driver, National Instruments does not supply instrument drivers for versions older that 6i.

I am unfamiliar with the differences between the A and the D, but if you have tried the A driver and it did not work, then they must be significant. I believe you will have to see if Agilent has any instrument drivers developed in LabVIEW for that device.
