[labnetwork] HP 4145A

[Sarah Geiger]

Hello Dave,
I work with an HP8164A in my research. I communicate with it via LabView.
After a time I found it was necessary to programmatically initialize and
close the visa sessions each time you operate the laser, or else the laser
will not be able to connect. You'll need the hp816x VI library in order to
operate it with Labview. Let me know if you want more information about any
of that.

Best,
*Sarah J. Geiger*
