LabVIEW control of NETWORK ANALYZERBy Aron Catan 8-12 August 2016

This is the signal on the E5071C network analyzer

The functionality of a network analyzer is to send out a sine function, to activate an electronic network and then measure the sine wave coming out of the network, i.e. to measure the transfer function of the network

LabVIEW control of NETWORK ANALYZER

The network analyzer can add a marker, and set it to minimum

LabVIEW control of NETWORK ANALYZER

The name of the network analyzer which is used by the LabVIEW program, is: vna

A program called “Network Devices” – which, just like LabVIEW, is also developed by National Instruments – can setup and test the network connection. It also assigns the name: vna

The setup of the network connection was the most difficult task. It was setup as a portable device according to the description on the network site: https://network.cern.ch/

The biggest problem was that the network analyzer in addition must be setup so that it can change its IP address – it took a long time finding this information and only possible with the help of H.Martinet.
