unable to collect real and imaginary data from labview for hp8510C

[deepi]

Hi,
I have been trying to use LabView to collect data from hp8510C. I downloaded the drivers from NI website. I am able to sweep frequency (using vi called Agilent 8510C Frequency Sweep.vi) and see different S parameters on Network Analyzer screen but I am unable to collect any data (real and imaginary values). Please help.

Howdy deepi,

I'd like to know a little bit more about how you're connecting to your instrument (GPIB, serial, USB, Ethernet).  NI has a great program called Measurement and Automation Explorer that can check low level functionality (*IDN?) of your device to ensure hardware functionality.  For general help with LabVIEW, check out Instrument Control in LabVIEW.  For some more instrument specific help, try GPIB, USB, Serial, or Ethernet Instrument Control.  This should get you going.
