API Overview
IVI Drivers
Keysight's 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. IVI drivers currently come in two basic types: IVI-
COM and IVI-C. Although the functionality offered by both types of drivers is often
very similar, the fundamental differences in interface technology results in a very
different end-user experience. The IVI drivers support compiling application programs
for 32- or 64-bit platforms.
Supported ADEs (application development environments) Arguably the most
important consideration in comparing IVI-COM and IVI-C drivers is the end user
experience in various ADEs. Since IVI-COM drivers are based on Microsoft COM
technology, it's not surprising that IVI-COM drivers offer the richest user experience in
Microsoft ADEs. Users working in Visual C++, Visual C#, Visual Basic.NET, and Visual
Basic 6 enjoy a host of features, such as object browsers, IntelliSense, and context-
sensitive help.
When you install the product software, the IVI driver files are installed in the standard
IVI Foundation directories (for example, C:\Program
Files\IVI Foundation\IVI\Drivers\AgM938x). Example programs are provided to
demonstrate most driver functionality (for example, C:\Program Files\IVI
Foundation\IVI\Drivers\\Examples). 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 (AgM938x.chmAgM9391.chm, or AgM9393.chm) from this Start
menu location: Start > All Programs > Keysight IVI Drivers > AgM9393 >
