VISA Library
To use a VISA library (VISA COM) as an I/O library, the VISA library must be installed in the
controller (host computer).
When a USB interface is used for control, a device driver compliant with the USB T&M class
(USBTMC) is required. The USBTMC driver is automatically installed by the VISA library.
The Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA) is a standard specification of instrument
connection software established by VXlplug&play Systems Alliance.
One of the VISA libraries (driver software installed according to the VISA specifications) listed
below is required.
• NI-VISA (ver. 3.2 or later) of National Instruments
• Keysight VISA (Keysight IO Libraries M01.00 or later) of Keysight Technologies
• KI-VISA ver. 3.0.0 or later
Do not install multiple VISA libraries in your PC; doing so may cause a malfunction.
