Agilent 816x Driver for LAN Interface?

[scottndsky]

Hi Folks,

Dose anyone have a decent LabVIEW driver for the Agilent 8163B or 8164B?  The newer versions of these instruments have a LAN interface that I'd like to use:

The document describes how you must append a "new line" to each command or query.  The old DLL and wrapper driver doesn't support this.

I've got a 81571A VOA module installed, so the list of commands I'd need is relatively small.  Before I set off to write my own driver functions, does anyone have one they'd be willing to share.

Regards,

Scott

Hello Scottndsky, 

A driver makes VISA calls to the device. Since we do not have a driver avalialbe on ni.com/idnet, I would recommend trying to adapt one of the drivers we already have online. Hopefully this will get you started with writing your own driver.
