Hi All,

I am having trouble finding driver for HP/Agilent 6632B power supply for LabVIEW 2009 communicating with the device using GPIB. Any help is appreciated.

 

I did find link for IVI driver for LabView 2018 but i was unable to use it for for LabView 2009-https://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=1740

Will/should the 2018 driver work for 2009 version LabVIEW?

I am not experienced enough to make my own driver using the device communication manual.

Thanks in advance for any help.

In LabVIEW, you can use the Instrument Driver Finder.  I usually keep my searches very simple, selecting only the manufacturer name and then browsing thru the results.

 

This link has drivers for HP6632A (LabVIEW 8.5).  I'm not sure the differences between A & B but I'm guessing the driver will still work for basic use.

Heads up! NI has moved LabVIEW to a mandatory SaaS subscription policy, along with a big price increase. Make your voice heard.

Per this:

 

https://docs.keysight.com/kkbopen/what-are-the-differences-between-the-6632a-33a-34a-and-6632b-33b-3...

 

Among other comparisons was this:

 

"5. SCPI command set that the "A" version does not have. The instruments have command compatibility, meaning the programs developed for the 663xA will run on the 663xB."

 

So it should probably work just fine.

The 6632A drivers did not work as it has a different command strings. but i was able to figure out the commands for the 67632B from the communication manual SCPI messages section and referencing 6632A drivers.

 

The device works with LabVIEW now.

Thanks for all the help.
