Driver for HP 8752 Analyzer

[Brodie]

Hi,

Doesanybody know if there is a driver for the 8752A analyser or if any other driverwill work with it.  I saw a post titled 8752 data and they linked to the8753 driver as the one they were using but does anybody know if this will work.

Thanks

The command set for those two instruments are similar, though the 8753 may contain commands not supported by the 8752 and vice-versa. You'd basically need to look at the programming manuals for those two instruments (available from Agilent's web site), see what commands you need for the 8752, and see if they're in the 8753 driver. My guess is that you'll probably be OK with the 8753A driver if you stick to basic stuff.

Thanks for the feedback, I found a cross-reference list on the Agilent website (http://na.tm.agilent.com/8753/programm/xrefhpib.htm)  which shows most of the commands are pretty similar.  I will give it a go this week and see if it works.

I tried the driver and it seems to work pretty well.
