Getting Started and Introduction
This section helps you get your Agilent E1439 running and making simple measurements without
programming. It shows you how to install the software libraries and how to run the Soft Front
Panel program. It also introduces you to the example programs. The Host Interface Library is
available as a Windows Library that communicates with the hardware using VISA (Virtual
Instrument Software Architecture). VISA is the input-output standard upon which all the
VXIplug&play software components are based..
This section assumes you have already installed the module in the VXI mainframe as shown in
the previous chapter. It also assumes that you have installed a VXI interface according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Note Be sure to read the readme file for important up-to-date software installation information.
