I want to connect and control N9916A with PC using MATLAB Instrument control toolbox using LAN connection. I am not able to identify which driver (of Agilent or Keysight ) will work for this instrument and from where can I download it.

Hello,
Personally, I would not look for a driver or use an instrument driver for the FieldFox.
You can use MatLab instrument Control Toolbox to control the N9916A via the SCPI command strings. If your FF is CPU version 1 then LAN is the remote control port. If your N9916A is CPU version 2 you can use LAN or USBTM for SCPI control.
The FieldFox programming guide is available at http://na.support.keysight.com/fieldfox/help/Programming/webhelp/FFProgrammingHelp.htm which list the various commands and includes some example programs (not specific to MatLab).
Also consider using / evaluating Keysight Command Expert which integrates the instrument Help file / programming details into a pseudo code sequencer which can be spooled our output to various languages, including MatLab .m code.
You may also want to look at BenchVue for a pre-canned interface to the FF.
If you have a specific FF automation goal please advise?
Sincerely,
tsilchia.
