The Development Environment

Agilent Visual Engineering Environment Pro is a graphical programming environment designed to help you quickly create and automate measurements and tests. VEE Pro lets you program by creating an intuitive block diagram. You select and edit objects from pull-down menus and connect them to specify the program flow. VEE Pro also includes Instrument Manager, which facilitates control and management of your devices. Let’s see how VEE Pro works with IVI.

Example Requirements

Agilent VEE Pro 8.0

Agilent 34401A IVI-COM, Version 1.1.0.11, March 2006 (from Agilent Technologies)

Agilent IO Libraries Suite 14.2

Download and Install the Driver

If you have not already installed the driver, go to the vendor Web site and follow the instructions to download and install it. You can also refer to Chapter 1, Download and Install IVI Drivers, for instructions.

This example uses the IVI-COM driver. VEE Pro does not support the use of IVI-C drivers through the Instrument Manager.

Launch the Instrument Manager and Select the Driver

If you have correctly installed the IVI driver, VEE Pro’s Instrument Manager will automatically find it for you.

1Launch VEE Pro.

2From the Main Menu, select I/O, and click Instrument Manager.
