VXIplug&play Power Products Instrument Drivers

VXIplug&play instrument drivers for Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT are now available on the Web at http://www.agilent.com/find/drivers. These instrument drivers provide a high-level programming interface to your Agilent Technologies instrument. VXIplug&play instrument drivers are an alternative to programming your instrument with SCPI command strings. Because the instrument driver’s function calls work together on top of the VISA I/O library, a single instrument driver can be used with multiple application environments.

〉Microsoft Visual BASIC

〉Microsoft Visual C/C++

〉Borland C/C++

〉National Instruments LabVIEW

〉National Instruments LabWindows/CVI

System Requirements

The VXIplug&play Power Products instrument driver complies with the following:

〉Microsoft Windows 95
