Hello guys ..
Just wondering if I can get my graphs from spectrum analyzer on LV SignalExpress? Is there a special driver I should download?
Thank you

Hi,
You can view your data from the HP 8562A in LabVIEW SignalExpress by creating a user-defined step. This applies to any instrument not supported by the native SignalExpress steps. To do this, you need to follow the Creating SignalExpress Plug-ins with LabVIEW DevZone.
On a side note, National Instruments has developed some plug-ins, such that a few 3rd party instruments can be controlled through SignalExpress. The plug-ins can be found on this KnowledgeBase. Unfortunately, the HP 8562A is not one of the instruments on this list, nor could I locate a supported driver for the HP 8562A on ni.com/idnet. To communicate with your device, you could use low-level VISA commands or utilize the Instrument Driver Development Wizard.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
