I tried to control the Netwok Analyzer through GPIB in LabView. I used the LabVIEW version both 8.6 and 2009.
I have download the driver from http://na.tm.agilent.com/pna/programming/ and http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=6417, but neither of them works. So where can I find the proper driver for this?
All suggestions are welcome.

The problem I am facing is that when I run the driver downloaded from http://na.tm.agilent.com/pna/programming/, in the 'labviewdriver\PhaseIII\Driver\LLB', take the library 'SParametersExample.llb' for instant. When we run SParameters.vi, it always says "Undefined Head" like below.

Hello limi,
Can you repost the image and identify what version of 488.2 and VISA you have installed?

Hi there, I'm trying to use Agilent PNA-L N5230A Network Analyzer in LabWindows/CVI but I need network analyzer instrument driver to connect it with the software using GPIB IEEE 488.2, I've seen the driver for the analyzer but they are only for LabView and not LabWindows/CVI, so can anyone please help me in this regard? I'll really appreciate that. Thanks.

We used DCOM. So, in VB6, we called the network driver DLL. You might want to look into that.
For this instrument, you need to read the manual.

Thanks for your reply, but I'm really sorry to say that I didn't get you as I just want the driver which is in a '.fp' format, so that I can load that instrument in LabWindows/CVI, and then I can simply control that Analyzer using LabWindows/CVI through PC. Thanks.

Unfortunately, LabWindows/CVI drivers are not that common.
You won't find it for this instrument.

Hello,
I have the 2010 platform of LabVIEW and am trying to connect to the N5230A Network analyzer to get S21 Measurement results.
The site
Has the drivers but I am not sure which one would work for the 2010 platform because it says 2014 2015 and 8.2.1 so I am unsure which one will work.
