From Friday, April 19th (11:00 PM CDT) through Saturday, April 20th (2:00 PM CDT), 2024, ni.com will undergo system upgrades that may result in temporary service interruption.
We appreciate your patience as we improve our online experience.
If you have the manual and the proper commands, you can write the driver yourself. It just becomes a matter of creating a VI that sends those commands. Your task is much easier if you can copy and modify an existing VI that already communicates with your instrument. This technique, however, will not work for VIs with library nodes. In this case, you will have to write the LV code from scratch. Look for a legacy driver on our insturment database for some examples.
I believe that Signal Recovery now owns/supports EG&G instruments. They provide LabVIEW drivers for several different models including a 5106. This instrument may have very similar commands to your 5206. http://www.signalrecovery.com/LabViewDrivers.htm
NI provides a LabVIEW driver for an EG&G 5208. This instrument may also be similar to your device. My suggestion is to review these drivers and see if you can adapt them to your model. If so, please submit your updated driver to the Instrument Driver Network and share it with the rest of the community or let me know if one of the existing drivers worked for you. http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niid_web_display.drv_results?p_app_area=&p_man=EGG&p_keywords=&p_inst_type=&p_env=&p_drv_type=&p_int=
