on Sep 4, 2012New programming tools from Agilent make it easy to create Android and Apple Apps to control Electronic Test Instruments. The tools help control, transfer and plot the data from T&M instruments. The video (link below) shows the website where you can download the code and examples. An example is shown Xcode and is launched in the iPhone simulator. Using the iPhone app a connection is made to a remote instrument. For more information: http://www.agilent.com/find/smartdevice

re: Agilent 6652A
1] Is there any internal instrument firmware update for an Agilent 6652A S/N: 3217A-00513 ?
I would like to use this with an NI GPIB-USB and program in Visual Studio (Visual Basic .Net 2012).
Is the Command Expert 1.2 update a firmware revision ?
2] I need to set this power supply in Constant Current mode for a Tungsten-Halogen Lamp for photometry measurements, and need to slowly(over several minutes) ramp-up the current to the lamp to a maximum of 6.4A, and when finished with measurements for the day, slowly ramp-down the current to zero. This will maintain the lamp integrity and long term performance. How do I do this both from the front panel and separately in VB .Net ?
Are there any practical software examples in VB .NET available ?
-- I understand that this unit comes up only in CV mode, but I want to use it in CC mode... and I have seen an Agilent (1 page) FAQ stating that "the power supply cannot be put into constant current mode...." !!
thank you,
Agilent 3458A forever !
