application will compile, link, and execute without error. The test results, however, may be quite different because different instruments measure and generate signals differently. For more information on class- compliant interfaces and capability groups, visit www.ivifoundation.org.
Using Class-Compliant Interface
Generally, you gain no advantage from using class- compliant interface over using just the instrument- specific interface. However, if you can isolate the usage of the instrument- specific interface, you may see some advantages. Replacing the IVI- COM driver then involves fixing the syntactic incompatibilities in the isolated code.
IVI- COM drivers will be provided to users. The drivers can also be used in a variety of development environments. For more information on IVI, visit www.ivifoundation.org.
Below are the IVI- COM drivers provided:
✔AgilentVEE support through COM mechanism using IVI- COM
✔Visual Basic 6 support through COM mechanism using IVI- COM
✔C++ support through COM mechanism using IVI- COM
✔Visual Basic 7 support through COM Interop mechanism using IVI- COM
✔C# support through COM Interop mechanism using IVI- COM
✔National Instruments LabVIEW support through COM mechanism using
IVI- COM
The Agilent firmware update utility is provided to allow users to update firmware on instruments. Update is made available through Agilent Developer Network (ADN) website:
