Programming the Agilent E1439

The Agilent E1439 is shipped with software and documentation to support a broad set of choices of controllers, I/O interfaces, programming languages, and operating systems. By virtue of its compliance to the VXIplug&play standard, the E1439 is most easily controlled in an environment conforming to one of the supported VXIplug&play frameworks. However, support is also supplied for other common hardware and software environments. The relationship among the various levels of programming is shown in the diagram below.

Windows & Visual Basic

C Programming

WIN

C-Function Library

Hardware Registers

Windows framework

The primary development environment supported by the E1439 is the VXIplug&play WINNT framework specifications. It requires the following resources prior to the installation of the E1439:

•An embedded or a stand-alone Pentium-class PC

•Microsoft Windows 2000, or NT

•VISA interface library

•VISA compatible hardware interface

•Microsoft Visual C++ and/or Microsoft Visual Basic development system.

Additional details on the WIN framework can be found in the VXIplug&play VPP-2 System Frameworks Specification, Revision 2.0.

In addition to the C source code files, the E1439 includes compiled libraries, example programs, an interactive soft front panel program, online help files, and an installation program. The interactive soft front panel program allows the E1439 to be turned on, verified, and used for simple tasks without writing any user programs.
