Is there a driver or Dll in Lab Windows for IXIA 400/400T ?

[skifarm]

Hi to you all

I am trying to remotely control the IXIA 400 using Lab windows, I am new to the program and I didn’t find any drivers for the ixia in national web site.

Is there a driver in Lab Windows for an IXIA ?

If not then maybe there is a dll for it ?

Were can I find dll's for instruments in general?

Hoping you can help me

Hi skifarm,

I am sorry that your posts here and here regarding this issue have not given you a solution to your question.

Our instrument driver network can be found here, and contains over 5000 instrument drivers for over 200 manufacturers.

While I found no hits for IXIA on the driver network, the user's manual for the IXIA 400 specifies that it has a suite of scripts utilizing TCL (tool command language). These can be run from LabVIEW as outlined here.

If you have contacted your manufacturer and they do not offer a dll for your chassis, if sounds like you have a C++ function library. You could also use these functions in an external compiler to build a DLL yourself, and interface this DLL using LabVIEW. Interfacing with a DLL in LabVIEW is outlined here.

Hope this helps... thanks!
