2 53220A/53230A Software Installation and Interface Configuration
56 Keysight 53220A/53230A User’s Guide
After the IO libraries have been installed, close the installation wizard. If
applicable, continue with instrument driver installation as described below.
Otherwise, continue with the ”Adding Instruments to the PC Interface” section of
this chapter.
Installing instrument drivers
Interchangeable Virtual Instrument (IVI) drivers (when available) are used for
programming the 53220A/53230A with Keysight VEE, with National Instruments®
LabVIEW™, or in Microsoft® development environments.
Install the appropriate driver based on the development environment you are
using (Table 2-1). Accept all default directories specified during installation if
prompted. Setup type “Typical” is applicable for most users.
Adding instruments to the PC interface
During installation of the Keysight IO Libraries, the IO interfaces (LAN, USB, GPIB)
detected on the PC are configured. This section contains information for
programmatically adding the 53220A/53230A to those interfaces using the
Keysight IO Libraries ‘Connection Expert’ utility.
Simultaneous LAN/USB/GPIB connections to the instrument are allowed.
Installing the Keysight IO Libraries installs the Interchangeable Virtual
Instrument (IVI) Shared Components. The IVI Shared Components are required
before the IVI drivers (e.g. IVI-COM, IVI-C)can be installed.
The figures used in this chapter represent the latest version of the IO Libraries
available at the time of printing. While you may have a different version, the
process of configuring and adding instruments remains basically the same.
