Installing the VISA Library
VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) was developed by the IVI Foundation.
It is the standard specification for measurement instrument connection software.
To use the VISA library (VISA COM) with the I/O library, the VISA library must be in-
stalled on the controller (Windows).
To use the LAN interface to control the product, middleware that supports the SC-
PI-Telnet, VXI-11, HiSLIP, or SCPI-RAW protocol is required. The middleware is in-
stalled automatically by the VISA library.
You have to install one of the following VISA libraries (driver software that is imple-
mented according to the VISA specifications).
• NI-VISA by National Instruments Corporation (Ver. 5.1.1 or later)
• Keysight VISA (Keysight IO Libraries Suite 16.0 or later) by Keysight Technologies
• KI-VISA Ver. 5.0.4 or later

Note
̶
Depending on the interface, you may not be able to use your VISA library if it is an
older version than that specified.
