Agilent Intuilink Software in LabVIEW???

[millie]

Hi,

I'm using a Agilent HP 8720D VNA and the Agilent software Intuilink for this instrument. I have LabVIEW 8.2 and would like to know if anyone has designed a VI to run the Intuilink software from LabVIEW? Is this possible? Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

Millie

Whby don't you control the instrument directly with a driver? For control of Intuilink, you should first check with Agilent to see if it has an ActiveX interface. If it does, then you can use the functions on the Connectivity>ActiveX palette.

It is much easier to use the drivers they provided or to write your own communication vi that takes a string control for the commands and responds if it is a query, than to use the Intuilink..  But that's my personal preference.. 

.... being old school that is 😉
