Installing the MS464X LabVIEW Driver
The VectorStar MS464X LabVIEW driver was developed and is supported by National Instruments. The driver is available at the National Instrument’s Instrument Driver Network (http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/ ) or you can download it directly from within LabVIEW as shown in the following figures.
Installing LabVIEW Drivers
Installing instrument drivers is easy to do from the LabVIEW help menu.
 
Search for Manufacturer = Anritsu + MS464

Set up VectorStar Remote Interface
VectorStar Remote Language Setup
Use these menus to set up VectorStar to prioritize Native SCPI Commands for GPIB communication. We can also set this in our LabVIEW program and we’ll do that in Examples 4, 7 and 8.
