System requirements
The following table lists the minimum system requirements for Keysight IO
Libraries Suite 16. In general, any x86 or x64 (except Itanium) should work but
there may be a significant decrease in performance.
PXIe System
Do not install the PXI modules in the PXI chassis yet! You must
install the software prior to installing the modules in the chassis
so that Keysight IO Libraries Connection Expert finds them.
