I'm looking for LabVIEW drivers for the Anritsu model MS4623D Vector Network Analyzer? Have gone to Aritsu's site and downloaded their tools but no LabVIEW source found. The other thing is whether anyone's developed LabVIEW interfaces to theirTools (Navigator or Power Tools or SCE)???
Unfortunately, we do not have an instrument specific driver for this Anritsu model MS4623D. Here is a link to the drivers we do have for Anritsu. We may be able to get communication to your device threw another means. How does your device communicate? For example is it GPIB or Serial. We may be able to use an NI driver and a programming manual for your device and communicate with it in LabVIEW threw this.

Since I've posted, I've discovered that their Power Tools (SW) does provide LabVIEW wrappers to their .DLLs for their GPIB communications. The issue that we're still looking into is whether there has been more sophisticated LabVIEW developement (I.E. where grouped functionality or clustered operations have been made in LabVIEW) to reduce the scope and complexity of our efforts. The Power Tools option provides one GPIB command type of complexity per subVI which will make the effort enormous.
Their Scorpion Navigator seems to provide some activeX capability but not sure if it is complete and dependable? If anybody has experience with this area, please comment (Anritsu VNA Model# MS4623D).
