NI-VISA example program
NI-VISA is National Instruments (NI
TM
) implementation of the VISA standard. The Keithley I/O Layer
(KIOL) contains a licensed version of the NI-VISA Runtime Engine that contains only the binary files
(DLLs) that allow the NI-VISA drivers to operate.
If you already have NI software (such as LabVIEW
TM

) installed, you have a valid
license that can be used with Keithley drivers and application software.
If you do not have NI software installed, you must Install Keithley I/O Layer to install the drivers.
