Using IVI with Agilent VEE Pro
The Development Environment
Agilent Visual Engineering Environment Pro is a graphical programming
environment designed to help you quickly create and automate measurements and
tests. VEE Pro lets you program by creating an intuitive block diagram. You select
and edit objects from pull-down menus and connect them to specify the program
flow. VEE Pro also includes Instrument Manager, which facilitates control and
management of your devices. Let’s see how VEE Pro works with IVI.
Example Requirements
•
Agilent VEE Pro 8.0
•
Agilent 34401A IVI-COM, Version 1.1.0.11, March 2006 (from Agilent
Technologies)
•
Agilent IO Libraries Suite 14.2
Download and Install the Driver
If you have not already installed the driver, go to the vendor Web site and follow
the instructions to download and install it. You can also refer to Chapter 1,
Download and Install IVI Drivers, for instructions.
This example uses the IVI-COM driver. VEE Pro does not support the use of IVI-C
drivers through the Instrument Manager.
Launch the Instrument Manager and Select the Driver
If you have correctly installed the IVI driver, VEE Pro’s Instrument Manager will
automatically find it for you.
1 Launch VEE Pro.
2 From the Main Menu, select I/O, and click Instrument Manager.
Note
: If you were connected to a live instrument, you would click the Find
Instruments button at the right in this screen and then skip to the next section.
