I have an old HP 8757D Scalar Network Analyzer. Since some of the buttons no longer work, I want to use Labview to control all the buttons on the hardware. I can do that and just send the command with the computer. On the main screen of the analyzer, there are eight different buttons. I cannot query to get the buttons (what the choices are), so if I press lets say the calibration button (not one of the onscreen buttons), I need to display in eight different text boxes the eight different choices. Then if I press one of the eight different choices, sometimes eight or less new choices come up on the screen, and then I will need to display those. I do not know what is the best way going about this. If I
try case by case by case, it will not only be tedious but the eight text boxes will have multiple sources and Labview has problems with that. If I try cases in cases, which seems better, I still have the problem of what happens after pressing two buttons - the buttons texts that appear depend on the buttons that have already been pressed (and the order in which they have been pressed). Does anyone have any strategies?
