I inherited a test program that uses Microsoft Excel and Agilent Intuilink to capture screen shots and trace data from an E4440A spec an to a PC running Windows XP. Soon these test PCs will be upgraded to Windows 7 and from what I've read, Intuilink does not support Windows 7. Is there an update to Intuilink that does? If not, what are my options?
Intuilink doesn’t support Windows 7. There are other ways to grab screen images from the PSA. One way is via SCPI command. We have an example program posted here that demonstrates how to do this:

Please also find attached a similar example utility to grab screen captures from ESA/PSA/X-Series via LAN or GPIB. Place the .exe program on your desktop and run it and it will put the current screen image on your analyzer onto your desktop as a GIF or PNG file. The source code is also included.
You can also save the current screen image on the C: drive (the flash memory drive) on your PSA. Then, you can use your web browser on your PC to ‘FTP’ into the instrument to grab the picture.
Depending on whether a PSA has option 115 or not, the directory you use to get access to the C: drive is different. This often causes confusion. Although FTP is not officially supported, many people use FTP to get files off of their instrument, since it is hard to find floppy disks anymore.
If your PSA has option 115/117 (512 MB memory), you have to use the following URL in your web browser (substituting your instrument's IP address for mine):
ftp://vsa:service@192.168.100.2/../../../cfs/e4440a/userdir/
For instruments without option 115, you would enter the following URL into your web browser to access the Userdir (Note: substitute your IP address for mine):
ftp://vsa:service@192.168.100.2
I hope this helped -
