The actual instrument driver itself is a DLL (Dynamic Linked Library)
created from:
q A set of source (.C) files.
q A set of header (.H) files, used for compiling the file as well as to describe the
driver’s calls to any program using the driver.
q A standard driver library (.LIB) file, to provide the standard functionality all the
drivers would require.
This DLL is a set of calls to perform instrument actions — at heart, that’s
all a VXIplug&play driver is — a library of instrument calls.
This driver is accessed by Windows applications programs written in
languages such as Visual C++ or Visual BASIC, using programming
environments such as VEE or NI LabView.
A Windows Help (.HLP) file is included which provides descriptive
information and code samples for the functions in the VXIplug&play DLL.
This help file can be viewed in the standard Windows Help viewer. A
viewer for HP-UX is provided in /opt/hyperhelp - see the READ.ME file.
Manufacturer and model codes
If desired, you can read the manufacturer code, model code and name of
the VXI instruments from the file /opt/e1432/lib/vximodel.cf (on unix
systems) or :\hpe1432\lib\vximodel.cf (on PC systems).
The following are the Hewlett-Packard VXI models in this file:
