Step 6 - Installation is Complete
Step 6 - Installation is Complete
Proceed to program your product by means of the applications programming
interface (API) for the supplied drivers.
Application Programming Interface (API) Overview
When you have completed installation, you can use the AWG Soft Front Panel (SFP)
or program the instrument using the applications programming interface (API) for the
supplied drivers.
IVI Drivers
Keysight IVI drivers simplify the creation and maintenance of instrument control
applications in a variety of development environments; they allow programmatic
control of instrumentation while providing a greater degree of instrument
interchangeability and code reuse. The IVI.NET driver supports compiling application
programs for 64-bit platforms.
When you install the product software, the IVI driver files are installed in the
standard IVI Foundation directories (for example, <YourDrive:>\Program Files
(x86)\IVI Foundation\IVI\Microsoft.NET\Framework32\v4.5.50709\
Keysight.KtMAwg <software version>\Help). The reference material for the driver
functions (a Microsoft HTML Help .chm file) is installed with the IVI driver and is
available for Microsoft Visual Studio's IntelliSense context linking. In addition, you
can directly access the .chm file (Keysight.KtMAwg.Fx45.chm) from this Start
menu location: Start > All Programs > Keysight Instrument Drivers > IVI.NET
Drivers > KtMAwg <software version>.NET.
LabVIEW Driver
In addition to the IVI drivers, Keysight provides a LabVIEW driver that includes all the
functionality of the IVI-C driver. When you install the product software, the LabVIEW
driver is installed to each LabVIEW instr.lib directory for each version of LabVIEW you
have on your computer (for example, C:\Program Files (x86) \National
Instruments\<LabVIEW version>\instr.lib\<Keysight product model>). If you install
LabVIEW drivers before you install LabVIEW itself, the drivers will be installed in the
Keysight directory instead of the National Instruments directory (for example,
C:\Program Files (x86)\Keysight\<Keysight product model>\ LabVIEW
Driver\<LabVIEW version>\...). Example programs are provided to demonstrate most
driver functionality. The reference information for the driver (a Microsoft HTML Help
.chm file) is also installed with the driver and the content is available from LabVIEW's
Context Help window. In addition, you can directly access the chm file (KtMAwg
LabVIEW Help) from the Keysight directory: C:\Program Files
(x86)\Keysight\MAwg\LabVIEW Driver Help.
