Hi,

I need to write a small program to perform measurements on captured data with
Logic Analyzer 16822A, but if I go to Tools -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor the
editor do not start and return an error :

"Visual Basic Software is not installed."

How start "Visual Basic Editor" ?

I have a license B4606A Advanced Customization Environment Development and Runtime.

How work with VBA on Logic Analyzer.

Thanks.

You don't say what version of SW you have, but there has been a problem with the last few SW releases. The VB tools were not properly compiled into the releases after 3.83. Even if you have a license, the editor won't start.

You have 2 choices:
1) You can roll back to version 3.83. This involves uninstalling your current version, and installing version 3.83. This will not affect any license, and the 16822 was supported well before 3.83 was released. Version 3.83 is available from the Agilent web site, here: ftp://ftp.agilent.com/cos/outbound/3.83/SetupLA03830001.exe

2) You can wait for the next release, Version 5.20. It should be fixed then.

Sorry for the problem.

It's possibile roll back to version 3.83 ? The firmware of internal FPGA firmware is downgraded ?

"

When Agilent should it release ? We are sure it will work ?

I do not want to downgrade and then a new update. Expect the new version.

For now externally connect using VB6 COM+ and work very well, but I would have preferred to put everything inside the instrument.

I'am waiting ... :?

Thanks very much.

Yes, just uninstall the current version, rebooting as necessary. The LA will complain that it can't ind the drivers for some HW (the LA HW), but just ignore those. Install the 3.83 bits, again with a reboot, and you should be all set.

It should only take 30-45 minutes. I do it all the time, since I want the latest version for some things and earlier versions for other things.

Soon. Yes, it should work. I know who is putting it back together and I trust his abilities.

This comment bothers me a little bit. "VB6 COM+" and VBA are somewhat different. The ACE capability (VBA on the LA) is intended to run entirely within the LA framework, and the connection to LA resources is different. I have avoided becoming a VB expert, but I have fought my way through some VBA code and have done some COM programming in C and C++. They don't look much alike.
