<br>
We purchased this software to run our 4145. It works very well and we <br>
have had no issues.<br>
<a href="https://www.metricstech.com/product/metrics-win4145/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.metricstech.com/product/metrics-win4145/</a><br>
It communicates via the GP-IB port on the back of the unit. If your <br>
GP-IB port is not working, I am not sure how you will be able to <br>
interface labview with the unit.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Brent<br>
