Installing the VISA Library
VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) is a specification for standard soft-
ware that is used to connect instruments. VISA was defined by the IVI Foundation.
A VISA library is required to use the software application. The VISA library (NI-VISA,
Keysight VISA, or KI-VISA) must be installed on the controller (Windows).
One of the VISA libraries (driver software implemented in compliance with the VISA
specifications) below is necessary.
• NI-VISA by National Instruments (Ver. 5.1.1 or later)
• Keysight VISA by Keysight Technologies (Keysight IO Libraries Suite16.0 or later)
• KI-VISA Ver. 5.0.4 or later
- Note -
If your VISA library is an older version than that specified, you may not be able to
use it depending on the interface.
