ag3000 driver download not working

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

 

I need the CVI compatible driver for my Agilent DSO 3202 scope.

I found the download page from idnet (http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=0F1022C53EC721A3E0440003BA7CCD...) but the links do not work.

 

I need the driver very very urgently.

Can you fix the link or point me to the correct location to download it?

 

Thanks,

One idea: Might it be that your companies firewall blocks the ftp protocol ?

Then there is a workaround. The download URL on the page  includes the redirection URL to NIs ftp server at its end. Just cut that part and replace the ftp:// at the beginning of that part with http:// and you should be able to download the driver using http protocol.   

For example  the labview driver has the download URL  http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niet_download_id.log_ids?p_profile_id=406395&p_doc_id=0F1022C53EC721A3E...

and that should become http://ftp.ni.com/support/idnet/558B0CC6888B3DD2E0440003BA7CCD71/ag3000_setup.exe

Hi markus,

Thanks for taking time to answer.

Actually I got the "link not found" error at my home computer and in -earlier- morning I had the same message when tried from work.

 

Then I realized from the error message that the file name is ag3000_setup.exe and made a google search, which resulted in the direct ftp link.

I am downloading it as we speak.

Hope it works,

 

 

By the way, (now of greater importance) the programming guide for DSO 3000 series from Agilent web site does not say anything about the digital filter capability (lowpass, highpass, bandpass, bandnotch with adjustable cut-off freq) the scope has.

So there are not any command strings associated to it in the 160+ page pdf document. So there is a strong probability that the IVI driver I am downloading does not have it either.

 

That capability is a must for me to use. Anybody knows the command strings for it by any chance?
