Transferring code from the 8703A/B to the K eysight N437x Series
Lightwave Component Analyzer
Keysight N437x Series Lightwave Component Analyzer, Programmer's Guide
While this chapter assumes you are familiar with your
programming environment, it does not assume familiarity with
controlling remote objects from within that environment.
Examples are provided for VB.NET, C#, VB 6.0, VBA and Keysight
VEE, which can be extrapolated to most environments for
controlling the LCA. After installing the LCA Remote Client on
your computer, you can find these examples in the folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Agilent\Agilent LCA Remote Client\Examples
The location on your computer depends on the folder in which
you installed the LCA Remote Client.
The Excel-VBA example pulls data directly from the LCA into
Excel. This is very useful if you are setting up measurements
manually, but want to analyze the results on your own
computer.
Tools are available to migrate code from the 8720 network
analyzer to the new PNA network analyzer platform at
www.keysight.com/find/nadisco
The 8703A/B Lightwave Component Analyzers are based on the
8720 network analyzers, so you can use these code conversion
tools to migrate existing code to the N437x Series LCA based
on the PNA platform.
Most of the code in a typical application for the 8703 LCA
controls the functionality of the network analyzer. This part of
the application can be migrated with these tools.
The code related to LCA specific functionality has to be
migrated by hand.
