Instrument Driver is supplied as a
Dynamic Link Library (.DLL) file.
There are several advantages to using the .DLL form of the driver,
including those listed below:
• transportability across different computer platforms,
• a higher level of support for the compiled driver from Keysight
Technologies,
• a faster load time for your project.
LabWindows/CVI (R) will attempt by default to load the source version of
the instrument driver. To load the DLL, you must include the file hp816x.fp
in your project. hp816x.fp can be found in the directory C:\Program Files
(x86)\IVI Foundation\VISA\WinNT\hp816x.
Do not include hp816x.C in your project.
You must provide an include file for hp816x.H. You do this by ensuring that
the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\IVI Foundation\VISA\WinNT\Include
is added to the include paths (CVI Project Option menu).
