Control Keysight Technologies E5061B Using LabVIEW

The LabVIEW software used to control the Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) so that measurement process can be automated faster. This project is about a measurement system that provided higher efficiency diversity and multiple functionality. This project included fundamental connection between Computer and VNA via the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) software. In addition the network configuration Virtual Instrument (VI) data acquisition VI and automation user interface also included. The purpose of VNA controller is to reduce the time duration taken when a user taking measurement of any Device Under Test (DUT). The LabVIEW VI is designed through a series of developed program simulation by applying LabVIEW Plug and Play – Agilent ENA series control palette. In short VNA controller has the functions that can configure the VNA’s bandwidth center frequencies frequencies span and display the graphs generated. This project also designs and develops a user-friendly interface for user in executing automation measurement and saves user time.
