I am currently working with LabWindows/CVI, and I am trying to retrieve trace data (comma separated data) from spectrum analyzer (Agilent E4407B) into an ASCII format array (str_trace[]), where I use the
following three different kinds of commands; however, neither of them works.

No.1: ViQueryf(E4407B, "TRACATA? TRACE1 \n","%s\n",&str_trace);

No.2: sprintf(write_buffer,"TRACATA?TRACE1 \n");

          Send(0,E4407B,write_buffer,strlen(write_buffer),1);

          Receive(0,E4407B,read_buffer,numToRead,256);

          sscanf(read_buffer,"%s\n",&str_trace);

No.3: sprintf(write_buffer,"TRACATA?TRACE1 \n");

          ibwrt(E4407B,write_buffer,strlen(write_buffer));

          ibrd(E4407B,read_buffer,numToRead);

          sscanf(read_buffer,"%s\n",&str_trace);


In order to save the data point into the array one by one without the comma, all of them are followed by:

       char *result=NULL;

       result=strtok(str_trace,",");

       while(result!=NULL){

           data[i]=atof(result);

           result=strtok(str_trace,",");

           i=i+1;

       }   


Please do me a favor to point out where my errors are. Thanks a lot!
