VNA 106 with LabVIEW

Post by hep59 »

I would like to control the VNA 106 with LabVIEW preferably 64 bits (Windows 10). By including PicoControl2.dll (32 Bit) in a "Call Library Function Node" I do not find the necessary functions as they are for the picoscope. It would be possible to open a VISA session with a COM post or a direct USB address of the VNA in order to initiate the communication? If the channel is open the VNA should accept with write and read the API functions from the programmers guide.

The example from GitHub works nice even on a 64 bit version of LabVIEW. I could further develop it on LV 2017 64 bit. Thank you!

Good to hear.
Although the example states 32 bit LabVIEW we have made a change to the installer for the VNA which makes the dll consumable by 64 bit as well. I will get the description updated.
