Looking for a LabView instrument driver for the Spirent TAS 4500 Channel Emulator.

Hi,

Unfortunately I was unable to find a driver for this instrument at http://ni.com/idnet. This leaves you with one of a couple options. It may be possible to modify an existing driver to work with this instrument. Otherwise, http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/other. htm states a few options to obtaining a driver. It would also be beneficial to notify the instrument manufacturer, they often have drivers for multiple programming languages. (Note that you cannot request a driver for this instrument because NI only writes drivers for standalone instruments in the eight IVI classes(DMMs, Scopes, Function Generators, Switches, Power Supplies, Power Meters, RF Signal Generators, and Spectral analyzers).)

Hi Rebecca,

Thanks for the information. You probably saved me a day running around the internet looking for a driver for this instrument.

Did you ever create your own driver for this instrument to work with your LabView setup?

If so, would you be willing to sell the IP (for the TAS 4500 FLEX 5), and if so how much?

Thanks...Jeff

I have written a driver for the Spirint and TAS4500 and the TAS4600. I can offer them for a low cost to anyone needing them. I have not only a full driver suite, but also a control panel and INI file for easy setup. contact SunshineDesign@cox.net for more information.
