Getting Started with the Agilent E1439

Getting Started and Introduction

Getting Started and Introduction

This section helps you get your Agilent E1439 running and making simple measurements without programming. It shows you how to install the software libraries and how to run the Soft Front Panel program. It also introduces you to the example programs. The Host Interface Library is available as a Windows Library that communicates with the hardware using VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture). VISA is the input-output standard upon which all the VXIplug&play software components are based..

This section assumes you have already installed the module in the VXI mainframe as shown in the previous chapter. It also assumes that you have installed a VXI interface according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Be sure to read the readme file for important up-to-date software installation information.
