I am looking for an instrument driver for a Boonton 9242 RF Voltmeter. Any help appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.

I do not see a specific driver for the device but, the device is SCPI compliant and a few hours of work starting from a Instrument Driver Project Template would get one ready to go.
[Edit] Adding to Mike's post... RF Voltmeters are not well defined in "Compliant Capabilities" but, go ahead and start with an RF Power Meter template... There are a lot of DMM functions that are NOT available to that device
(Mike, Really? ......)
The meter really is simplistic in its "MEASurment:XXX" functions and would be a great way to learn how to write an Instrument Driver for a SCPI Compliant device..... I'd pass it to any intern for a learning experience! (And yes, I'll answer questions from them)

Thanks Mike and Jeff, trying to help our programmer out with a done solution. Was hoping someone had a driver they knew of.

See the edit to my last post... Instrument Driver Templates would make that fairly easy

OK, thank you Jeff and all, this is my first post and I am impressed with the rapid replies, I just had a discussion with our guy, I think he will be able to handle it!
