We have a third party document showing a Labview front panel with the plot from an Agilent E5061B netwark analyzer. So we think this is possible.
We have a Agilent E5061B netwark analyzer. Running Labview 2014 on a win7 pc and using a USB GPIB interface. And the example .vi "Agilent ENA series acquie trace.vi, Agilent ENA series interactive application.vi, E5061B acquired trace" We can't get Labview to extract the plot data from the Agilent E5061B netwark analyzer.
Dose anyone install Labview on there analyzer?
Any ideas?
thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

I do not have this Analyzer, so I cant tetst it.
But in the drivers, under the Data palette, there is a VI called "Read Data and Memory Array.vi". The help (Ctrl+ H shortcut on the keyboard), says this" For the active trace of selected channel, reads out the formated or corrected data or memory array." Is this what you are looking for?
You would need to look up how to create a Smith plot if you wanted something other than a default graph output.

Hi Kenny:
thankyou for your response. Please explain to me what is the difference between formatted data or correct data or memory array? Amplitude in the x direction and frequency on the y scale. Please add this vi to get xy graph data.

You don't install LabVIEW on the analyzer. You need to download the instrument driver found here. You can then pick the out the pieces you need to create your application (getting the trace). A good place to start is the vi tree found in the driver as well as the examples. Make sure when your hooked up to the NWA that you can see it in NI MAX.

Hi Viper:
Yes downloaded it and got it to work up to the graphing feature. Our fetch trace vi doesn't work. Thankyou

HI Dennis:
I have found out the scpi command by talking with keysight. Thankyou kindly.

Can you guide me how did you figured it out
thanking you,

Hi Dennis:
Keysight gave me the scpi commands full definitions. I found out that the e5061b network analyzer only sends simulation data first, :SENS1:FREQ:DATA?
in a serial download. Then the second command, :CALC1:DATA:FDAT? is sends the response values. The response values have zeros intermixed with the real data. The current ni drivers don't work. So the issue has been elevated to NI R&D. Hopefully they will come back with a soultion. At this time the problem hasn't been resolved. Ni has to write a new serial driver.vi.
Thankyou for your assistance,
