HP 4192A irregular frequency sweep

I have using manually HP 4192A LF for a long time. I need to measure conductance (G), and susseptance (B) values for 100 irregular frequency steps (for ex: 5Hz,100Hz,200Hz,1kHz,5kHz,50kHz...13MHz). I have LabView 8.2 version. But I do not know anything about this application. How should I start? Thanks...

The first place to start is to learn LabVIEW. There are training courses available - both class room and on-line. Check out http://www.ni.com/academic/lv_training/how_learn_lv.htm  and http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5054.

Then, you need to download the instrument driver for the instrument at http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=956.

Learn how to what a driver is and how to use it at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4376 .

When you start to write the application program, the simplest way is to create an array of your frequency values. This would be wired into a for loop. Inside the for loop would be the driver functions for setting the frequency and taking a measurement. When you wire the array through the for loop to the frequency input of the function that sets the frequency, the array is automatically auto-indexed.
