Magnus,
I used to be responsible for a couple of labs in the late 90's early 2000's
where we had several of these.
First - do you have this option installed:
Add Agilent Instrument BASIC 1C2 ?
We automated the VSA's using GPIB and TCL. I jumped through some hoops to
make the TCL library
publicly available on SourceForge - and it is still there. TCL is a basic
like language for easy instrument
control and worth looking at if you want this to be as easy as possible.
I noticed there are some nifty GPIB to USB adapters available now.
We ran 24/7 this way doing low noise analysis.
Best Regards,
John W.
