Want s2p file from Agilent Networkanalyzer E8358A and .jpg files direct on my PC via GPIB or Ethernet

[rf_antenna_guy]

Hello Community,

I have now access to an old but quite good networkanalyzer from Agilent E8358A.

They have Ethernet and GPIB, so far I can communicate with labview 2020 only via GPIB.

I try to automate and documentate (boring) my Lab measurement on antennas.

For that reason I want transfer the .s2p files and maybe Pictures in .png or .jpg to my PC and make some reports in Excel, Word or maybei Python scipt.

Has anyone did this before and can share a VI with me .

Must I storage the files in the hard disk of the Networkanalyzer or can I transer it direkt via Ethernet or GPIB to the Windows 10 PC ?

I have access to the files of the Networkanalyzer with a crossover Ethernet cable but not with labview NI max only GPIB.

Feedback will be very cool

Thx

Michael

I believe there's a way to "stream" the file as bytes over GPIB, but it's kind of convoluted.  You'll have to consult your manual.  Sorry.

You can try downloading the E8358A driver.  It might have want you want.
