control agilent network analyzer with matlab

Hi all!

I want to control Vector network analyzer with matlab.

Could someone tell me the steps which i should follow?

Thank you

Hi,

General steps.

1. See through which interface you can use to control like RS232,USB,GPIB or LAN. Different machines will have different interfaces to remote control. I have controlled spectrum analyser
2. Generally MATLAB will have a support from Mfr web. if you have driver download it and use it. easy way
3. Otherwise most of the measuring instruments should follow SCPI(Standard commands), based on interface you have selected for remote control, wrap up the commands with that layer
in serial port case, like Serial ,write data, read data..etc.

I have not used it myself, but think this is what you need:
