HP-Agilent 4191A instrument driver

[Matt C.]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to see if anyone's developed a driver for the HP-Agilent 4191A Impedence Analyzer. I found 4192A's and similar drivers, but they aren't compatible with the 4191A. 

Thanks,

Matt

Hey Matt,

If you have the manual for the 4191A, you can create your own instrument driver by using the instrument driver wizard.

Thank you,

Ryan

Here's an example of a 4191A controlled over GPIB  from Excel 2007, with the sweep data displayed in ZPlots.

Why would you resurrect a very old thread for non-LabVIEW code?

this is in reply to an old request for instrument drivesr for the 4191,  Ive been told none exist fo rinstrumens of this age.

The 4191As are still offered for sale on the second hand market so hopefully this might be of use to someone in the future.

Regards

If someone on this board is looking for a driver, they will want one for LabVIEW. You should move your response to the instrument control board.

updated link to video and software - this is not a labview drive - its VBA code running in microsot exce.
