I found a Labview instrument driver for the R3131 Advantest, what do I need now to connect a PC to my spectrum analyzer and download the graphs.

I tried to run the "Getting started" VI, it does not give me an error message but at the same time it won't run. When I looked at the block diagram I noticed that the GPIB address was already set at 8 and the frequency span and the center frequency were already set at 1MHz and 0 Hz respectively. I am guessing that this need to be modified.

Thanks

if your instrument has an address of 8 and so does teh default display, i dont know if there is any difference between using an address of GPIB::8 or GPIB0::8 on the screen???
