Hello,

Can we use BenchVue control Agilent power supply (E3640)?
Is it from .state file?
Where I can find .state file format?

Hi Richard,

Yes, BenchVue currently supports the E363xA, E364xA, and N670xA/B supplies. You should not need to use a .state file. Just make sure the instrument can be seen by Keysight Connection Expert (IO Libraries), version 16.3. You will have to add either the RS-232 or GPIB port information to the Connection Expert so that BenchVue can see it. If you have trouble doing this, please contact me at bv_support@keysight.com.

hi;

I have an Agilent 6652A power supply & a 34980A and want to control & log data using BenchVue or Python. A GPIB-USB is being used. How do I control the 6652A & monitor its O/P V & I ?

  BenchVue does not currently support the 6652A or the 34980A. I have fed that information to the R&D group that adds new products for future consideration. In the meantime, you might look at Keysight Command Expert, which can help you create code in Python for any instrument with drivers available. Check it out at
