************ HP VXIplug&play *************
I am currently using the following HP VXI hardware.
Mainframe - E8401A or 75000 (series C)
HP E1406A - SWITCH
HP E1410 - Multimeter
HP E1442 - C/A Switch
HP E1328 - DAC
I am controlling this with LabWindows/CVI (8.5) on Windows XP. The instrument drivers we are using are HP VXIplug&play from an Hewlett-Packard Universal Instrument Drivers CD dated 1998.
I am migrating all our LabWindows/CVI software to Windows 7 and LabWindows/CVI 2012 (32bit build). I can not get the HP Universal Instrument Drivers disk to work on windows 7. Can anyone recommend which drivers I should use with this hardware and Windows 7?

Dear RocketBoost,
I wanted to find out some information from you.
How are you communicating with your instruments, through a VXI interface or GPIB?
I have included a link for the current drivers available, for each third party instrument you specified, from the National Instrument website.
E1460A Driver Support
E1410A Driver Support
E1442A Driver Support
E1328A Driver Support
I hope this helps.
