VT1433B User's Guide
Using the VT1433B
The actual instrument driver itself is a DLL (Dynamic Linked Library) created from:
A set of source (.C) files.
A set of header (.H) files, used for compiling the file as well as to describe the driver’s calls to any program using the driver.
A standard driver library (.LIB) file, to provide the standard functionality all the drivers would require.
This DLL is a set of calls to perform instrument actions — at heart, that’s all a VXIplug&play driver is — a library of instrument calls.
This driver is accessed by Windows applications programs written in languages such as Visual C++ or Visual BASIC, using programming environments such as VEE or NI LabView.
A Windows Help (.HLP) file is included which provides descriptive information and code samples for the functions in the VXIplug&play DLL. This help file can be viewed in the standard Windows Help viewer. A viewer for
Manufacturer and model codes
If desired, the manufacturer code, model code and name of the VXI instruments can be read from the file :\hpe1432\lib\vximodel.cf (on PC systems) or /opt/e1432/lib/vximodel.cf (on UNIX systems).
The following list identifies the VXI models in this file:
Manufacturer Code | Model Code |
