We've got an HP6621A power supply which we need to program so that its voltage varies up and down for hours at a time for a few days. I see that Agilent has drivers in case we want to write our own application and GUI, but is there an off-the-shelf program available somewhere already that would let us write a voltage vs. time profile? We have LabView; is there something simpler that uses cheaper hardware?
The 6621A is an old product and we do not have any canned software applications for it.
If you just want to do something simple like change voltage a few times a day, I would recommend not using a driver and just using the instrument commands. Please note that this instrument actually predates SCPI and uses its own command set.
Thanks.
