Need a HP3421A native driver for labview 5.1

[motorhammer]

Hi,

I'm looking for a native HP3421A driver for labview 5.1. Of course I searched in the "Instrument Driver Network" but I foundd only drivers for labview 6.0 and 7.0 or greater.

According to this document: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/321691a.pdf#search=%22labview%204.x%20hp3421a%22 there is a such driver for labview 4.x.

Any idea where I could find this driver for labview 5.1 ? A haven't any "Instrument Driver Library CD-ROM".

hi there

the driver he is searching for can be found here (LV 7.0): https://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E969E659CE034080020E74...

the driver uses the old school GBIP functions, so it should be possible to downgrade it down to LV 5.1. do downgrade open the "HP 3421A Example.vi" and choose

File->Save with options->Save for previous. 

since you only can downgrade to the next prior version of LV you need a ladder of LV versions, but i'm sure that if you ask here you'll find someone who can do this for you.

ok, thanks for the prompt answer.

It would be very nice if someone could do this for me

Here is the version for LV4.0. Found it on an old Instrument drivers CD, vintage 1996.

Hope it works for you
