TektronixVISA and VISA Configuration Utility
The VirtualInstrument SoftwareArchitecture (VISA) standard,
developedby the VXIplug&play Systems Alliance,provides a
common Input/Output (I/O) library for software developers so that
software from different vendors can run on the same platform.
Except for direct GPIB-to-network printing, all applications that
communicate over the network to the AD007 adapter must use the
Tektronixve rsion of VISA(TekVISA). See the AD007 section in the
TektronixSoftware Solutions Installation manual (Tektronix part
number 071--1140--01) for instructions on loading TekVISA on
your PC.
The TekVISAsoftware includesa utility to help you configure the
VirtualInstrume nt Software Architecture (VISA) resources. The
TekVISAResource ManagerConfiguration utility allows you to add
or remove remote hosts (such as one or more AD007a dapters). For
more information about using the configuration utility, see page 30.
