Dear all,
I wanted to couple thermostream with keysight. The master is a labview program that controls both Equipment. For the thermostream i have one. For b1505 i would only like to start a keysight script. Possible?

Yes you can. You must store the script in volatile program memory so that the remote computer can then call that script to execute. See page 2-45 of the B1500 programming guide- https://www.keysight.com/ca/en/assets/9018-01851/programming-guides/9018-01851.pdf (you will need an account to download!)
Edit: Note the code example is still in BASIC, but the commands can easilty be sent in LabVIEW.
To Store a script..
===============
The following procedure stores a program (program number n) in the program memory. A multiple command
string is also available.
1. OUTPUT @B1500;"ST n"
where, n is the program number for the program now stored in the program
memory. The value must be an integer, 1 to 2000.
2. OUTPUT @B1500;"XXXX"
where, XXXX must be the command you want to store in the program memory.
Repeat this until all required commands are stored.
Table 2-1 lists the invalid commands for the program memory.
3. OUTPUT @B1500;"END"
Now to Run the script..
=================.
Send the RU or DO command to execute the memory program.
• OUTPUT @B1500;"RU 1,5"
This example executes the programs numbered 1 through 5 sequentially. These
programs must be stored in the memory.
• OUTPUT @B1500;"DO 1,2,3,4,5"
This example executes programs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in this order. These programs
must be stored in the memory. A maximum of eight numbers can be specified.
Hope that helps.

Thx for the first feedback.
in my version of the progamming guide it is under 2-49 program memory.
I guess I have a different request. The programs are given/written and in pda-ds.zip given and I want to recall and run it just with labview.
And then just save data as txt, pdf and pda-ds.zip as its best

The request would be different, any idea how to do?

Question is more if B1506 can be controlled via external PC with Labview for the easy test navigator?

What exactly are you talking about?

The B1506 is offering a program written as pda-ds.zip file you can see an example in the post above.
And I wanted to know if I can recall it and save data.
The software to control would be labview
