IO Libraries and Programming Languages
or they can be downloaded from the Keysight website: http://www.keysight.com.
CAUTION For long strings of commands and waveform downloads, upgrading to Keysight IO
Libraries 15.0 and above can decrease RS- 232 performance, potentially resulting in an
Error –310.
NOTE To learn about using IO libraries with Windows XP or newer operating systems, refer to the
Keysight IO Libraries Suite’s help located on the Automation- Ready CD that ships with your
signal generator. Other sources of this information, can be found with the Keysight GPIB
interface board’s CD, or downloaded from the Keysight website: http://www.keysight.com.
To better understand setting up Windows XP operating systems and newer, using PC LAN
port settings, refer to Chapter 2.
Keysight IO Libraries Suite
The Keysight IO Libraries Suite replaces earlier versions of the Keysight IO Libraries. Keysight IO
Libraries Suite does not support Windows NT. If you are using the Windows NT platform, you must
use Keysight IO Libraries version M or earlier.
Windows 98 and Windows ME are not supported in the Keysight IO Libraries Suite version 14.1 and
higher.
CAUTION The Keysight MXG’s USB interface requires Keysight IO Libraries Suite 14.1 or newer.
For more information on connecting instruments to the USB, refer to the Keysight
Connection Expert in the Keysight IO Libraries Help.
For long strings of commands and waveform downloads, upgrading to Keysight IO
Libraries 15.0 and above can decrease RS- 232 performance, potentially resulting in an
Error –310.
NOTE The signal generator ships with an Automation- Ready CD that contains the Keysight IO
Libraries Suite 14.0 for users who use Windows 98 and Windows ME. These older systems
are no longer supported.
Once the libraries are loaded, you can use the Keysight Connection Expert, Interactive IO, or VISA
Assistant to configure and communicate with the signal generator over different IO interfaces. Follow
instructions in the setup wizard to install the libraries.
