HP/Agilent 34970A talking

[PeteBull]

I am using Measurement Studio 8 Controls with VC++ 6 under WinXP.

My problem : I've got a HP/Agilent 34970A and I'm looking for a way to talk with it (with RS-232).

I will be grateful if I can get any helpful hints.

Hi,
The only instrument driver I have found for you instrument is this one :

This is an instrument driver for CVI 6 and only support the GPIB interface. You need to install Ni VISA.
To communicate with your instrument you have to use VISA functions. This interface is a way to communicate with a serial instrument (and with other communication protocol as GPIB, TCP..).
