Getting Started with Agilent VEE
The 32-bit (winnt framework) Agilent Technologies E6432A driver can
be used with Agilent VEE 4.0 and above. Agilent VEE 4.0 is a 32-bit
version that runs on Windows NT.
To access the functions of the Agilent Technologies E6432A driver from
within Agilent VEE, consult the manual Using VXIplug&play Drivers
with Agilent VEE, which comes with Agilent VEE 4.0.
Using Agilent VEE 4.0 with VXIplug&play drivers provides several
features that make the driver easy to use:
• Agilent VEE makes the connection to the instrument for you
• Agilent VEE handles any driver errors for you
• Agilent VEE ensures that the driver is consistent with the
VXIplug&play infrastructure
• Agilent VEE makes it possible to connect driver variables to Agilent
VEE variables
Getting Started with LabVIEW
The 32-bit Agilent Technologies E6432A VXIplug&play driver can be
used with LabVIEW 4.0 and above. LabVIEW 4.0 is a 32-bit version of
LabVIEW that runs on Windows NT 4.0.
To access the functions of the Agilent Technologies E6432A
VXIplug&play driver from within LabVIEW, select File from the main
menu, and select the Convert CVI FP File submenu item. In the file
selection dialog box that appears, select HPE6432.fp and click on the
OPEN button. LabVIEW will create a series of VI's, one per driver
function. It creates a file called HPE6432.llb that contains these VI's.
This library of VI's can then be accessed like any other VI library in
LabVIEW.
To locate the HPE6432.fp and the HPE6432.llb files in your system,
refer to “Folders and Files Supplied with the E6432A VXIplug&play
Driver” on page 1-13.
