VISA Library
If you are using a VISA library (VISA COM) for the I/O library, the VISA library must be
installed on the PC.
A device driver supporting USB T&M Class (USBTMC) is required to control the TOS3200
through the USB interface. The USBTMC driver is automatically installed by the VISA library.
VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) is a specification for standard software for
connecting instruments that was defined by the VXIplug&play Systems Alliance.
One of the VISA libraries (driver software implemented in compliance with the VISA specifica-
tions) below is necessary.
Older version of VISA libraries does not support USB. USB functions cannot be used on Win-
dows 95 or Windows NT 3.5x or 4.0.
• NI-VISA by National Instruments (Ver. 3.0 or later, Ver. 3.2 or later for Windows 2000 and
Windows XP)
• Agilent VISA by Agilent Technologies (Agilent IO Libraries M01.00 or later)
• KI-VISA Ver. 3.0.0 or later
KI-VISA is Kikusui original VISA library compatible with VXIplug&play VISA Specifications
3.0. The latest version can be downloaded from Kikusui website (http://www.kikusui.co.jp/en/
download/). KI-VISA is not required if NI-VISA or Agilent VISA is already installed.
