Drive Agilent 16702A with CVI?

[KevinMac]

My Agilent 16702A  logic analyzer has no GPIB capability.

The Agilent online example dates from windows 3.1.

It shipped with something called RPI (remote programming interface) but that isn't working well for me, too many missing instructions.

I have it on the network with a domain name and an address.

I can FTP to it, but can't get surf out with the 8-year-old Netscape installed.

Anyone have a recommendation and a basic example?

Given a program that just loaded a config file, I could figure out the rest.

LabWindows please, not LabView. 

Thanks.

If anyone ever has to control a HP6700, I recommend ignoring the RPI documentation and active-X controls

You can send all of the commands using CVI telnet functions as described in CVI help sections. t turns out to be a simple operation. Only trick is to get buffer lengths right, a minor effort relative to problems getting the recommended approach to work.
