Hi, I would like to access my HP8562A Spectrum Analyzer from my computer using the NI GPIB-ENET/100 hardware. Are there any VIs or drivers out there ready to accomplish this? I have searched online and on ni.com but I can not find them. Please help me. Thanks, -Rocio

I couldn't find any intrument drivers either, neither at NIs site nor at Agilents site.  So I fear you have to start reading the programming manual ( available at <http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/08562-90086.pdf>) and send the command strings described there with the VISA functions to the device.

What is available is a driver for the 8562E series

both machines are agilent spectrumanalyzers but you have to decide yourself how much they are from the same familytree.

Markus and Albert, Thank you very much to both of you for your replies. I followed both links. The driver for the 8562E series worked for my HP8562A equipment. Thank a million! Rocio
