Instrument drivers required

[olifri]

Hallo,

I couldn't find any LabVIEW VISA drivers for the following instruments.

Keithley 480 Picoammeter
HP4142B DC Source
HP8703A Lightwave Component Analyzer
Could anyone help me out with one of these devices.

I've searched the instrument database at www.ni.com and also googled for
these drivers, with no success.

Best regards
Oliver Friedrich

Hi:

Oliver,
You can submit driver requests for these instruments at:
http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/
NI develops instrument drivers based on popularity and instrument availability.

Without an instrument driver, you can communicate with the instrument by sending it the appropriate commands using VISA. The Instrument I/O Assistanat in LabVIEW 7.0 or later can help simplify instrument communication.
