The Keysight 816x VXIplug&play Instrument Driver 7
Features of the Keysight 816x Instrument Driver
The Keysight 816x VXIplug&play instrument driver conforms to all aspects
of the VXIplug&play driver standard which apply to conventional rack and
stack instruments.
The following features are available:
• The Keysight 816x VXIplug&play Instrument Driver conforms with the
VXIplug&play standard.
• There is one exception as the Keysight 816x driver does not have a soft
front panel or a knowledge-based file.
• The Keysight 816x VXIplug&play Instrument Driver is built on top of
VISA, and uses the services provided.
• VISA supports GPIB and VXI protocols. The driver can be used with any
GPIB card for which the manufacturer has provided a VISA DLL.
• The Keysight 816x VXIplug&play Instrument Driver includes a Function
Panel (.fp) file.
• The .fp file allows the driver to be used with visual programming
environments such as Keysight VEE, LabWindows, and LabView.
• The Keysight 816x VXIplug&play Instrument Driver includes a
comprehensive on-line help file which complements the instrument
manual.
• The help file contains application programming examples, a
cross-reference between instrument commands and driver functions,
and detailed documentation of each function with examples.
• The Keysight 816x VXIplug&play Instrument Driver includes a Visual
Basic (.BAS) file which contains the function calls in Visual Basic syntax,
and allows the driver functions to be called from Visual Basic.
You should only use Visual Basic with this driver if you are familiar with
C/C++ function declarations. You must take particular care when
working with C/C++ pointers.
