Problem retriving data from OSA MS9710 with GPIB interface

[alalala]

Hi all,

I'm trying to read data from Anritsu OSA MS9710 using a GPIB interface and a terminal software in computer. However, I am not having sucess with it. Anyone know how can I do this? or another way to read this data without needing a floopy disk? 

Thank a lot!

Anritsu has a LabVIEW driver. I don't know what kind of terminal software you are talking about. Most terminal emulators are only useful for RS-232. You can use MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer) to communicate. Nor do I understand how a floppy disk could help.

But one problem that I had was that I need the LabView installed in my computer in the same version of the OSA, that is version 4.0 of LabView. Without this compatibility I can't use that LabView driver and I can't find this version for download. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks a lot for the answers, I'm just starting a project and I don't know much about those things.

Post the old code to the Upconvert thread.
