AGPNA Instrument Driver Error

Instrument Driver VI AGPNA Configure Measurement Parameter:
After some confusion, I found that the text ring control "Measurement Type (0:S11)" has [S11, S21, S12, S22....], but the "Create Measurement Parameter" case selection has it listed [S11, S12, S21, S22....] which is sent to the PNA. I was trying to measure S21 but was getting S12 data. I downloaded this Instrument Driver a day or two ago. Have other people seen this or did I get a bad copy somehow?

Hi Sam,

The problem is most likely in the driver. Thanks for reporting it! The front panel control probably needs to be updated to match what is on the diagram. You can either fix this issue yourself or you can wait until we update the driver with this fix and post it on the web.

Again, thanks a lot for the feedback!

I just changed the order of text constant [S11, S21 <-> S12, S22...] in the selected case, and it was resolved. If it is in the Instrument Driver, I just wanted NI to know about it so it would be updated and others wouldn't run into the same problem.
