Help transferring old code into a LabView format

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to take data from a trace stored on a dinosaur Spectrum Analyser (I've checked for drivers). I have the manual and a code written from 1997 unfortunately I'm not very computer savvy. I've managed to get a basic program working with a GPIB connection on labview but I'm having trouble on this final step (where I need the data placed stripped to my computer) heres what I need to do in code, if anyone could point me in a direction I'd be extremely grateful.

 

OPTION BASE 1                (Specify lower boundary of arrays to be 1)

OUTPUT "TRDEF NN,20;"   (define user-defined trace of 20 elements, NN)

OUTPUT "MOV NN,0;"        (Store 0 in all elements of trace array)

OUTPUT "PDA NN,TRA,5;" (Performs an amplitude of distribution function on trace A)

DIM A(20)                           (Dimension 20-element computer array)

OUTPUT "NN?;"

ENTER   (Store values in computer array)

FOR I=1 TO 20                   (Print values on computer display)

NEXT I

 

Thanks

Depends on how your instrument formats the data. Assuming you do the testing of the communication in MAX, what is the data when you do a VISA Read after the NN? write?
