Setup

A VISA library is required to use the software application. The VISA library (NI-VISA, Keysight VISA, or KI-VISA) must be installed on the controller (Windows). Do not install multiple VISA libraries on the PC. Doing so may cause errors.

When the product is controlled by the LAN interface, middleware which applies to the VXI-11 or HiSLIP protocol is required. Middleware is automatically installed by the VISA library.

Installing the VISA Library

VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) is a specification for standard software that is used to connect instruments. VISA was defined by the IVI Foundation.

One of the VISA libraries (driver software implemented in compliance with the VISA specifications) below is necessary.

Do not install multiple VISA libraries on the same PC. Doing so may cause errors.

If your VISA library is an older version than that specified, you may not be able to use it depending on the interface.

•NI-VISA by NI Corporation (Ver. 5.1.1 or later)

•Keysight VISA by Keysight Technologies (Keysight IO Libraries Suite16.0 or later)

•KI-VISA Ver. 5.0.4 or later
