Is there any labview drivers for Spirent 5500 wireless channel emulator

Spirent 5500 currently doesn't have GPIB capability despite the connector on the rear panel. It is controlled via .net from a laptop. Labview drivers needed.

Unfortunately I was unable to find a driver for this instrument at http://ni.com/idnet. This leaves you with one of a couple options. It may be possible to modify an existing driver to work with this instrument. Otherwise, http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/other.htm states a few options to obtaining a driver. It would also be beneficial to notify the instrument manufacturer, they often have drivers for multiple programming languages. (Note that you cannot request a driver for this instrument because NI only writes drivers for standalone instruments in the eight IVI classes(DMMs, Scopes, Function Generators, Switches, Power Supplies, Power Meters, RF Signal Generators, and Spectral analyzers).)

Clarification:

National Instruments would like to receive driver requests for all instruments that do not have drivers available on ni.com/idnet. Each request is being added to our instrument driver request database and considered for development. We try to develop instrument drivers according to popularity. Unfortunately, we cannot develop instrument drivers for all the requests we receive.

If a customer would like to try developing his/her own instrument driver, we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help him/her in development. This information can be found on our web site: http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm

Thanks,

Instrument Driver/IVI Group
