Installation
Folders and Files Supplied with the E6432A VXIplug&play Driver
Help:
• Agte6432.htm
This file is used to generate a cross-platform Help system for the
VXIplug&play driver that runs on both Unix and Windows platforms
using an internet browser. The Help system requires internet
browsers that are Java enabled with Java 1.02 and above, can use
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and above, or Netscape
Navigator 4.0 and above.
In this Help folder, there may also be files that end with a .pdf that
require Adobe Acrobat Reader and files that end with a .mov that
require QuickTime software. To get either of these pieces of
software, refer to “Adobe Acrobat Reader or QuickTime Software
Downloads” on page 6-18.
Include:
• HPE6432.h
This header file contains the function prototypes for each of the
VXIplug&play functions used by the E6432A microwave synthesizer.
• HPE6432.bas
This header file is written using Visual Basic 6.0 syntax and
contains the function prototypes for all E6432A VXIplug&play
functions.
Lib/Msc (Microsoft C Libraries):
• HPE6432.lib
This library file contains the code required to use the HPE6432.dll
dynamic link library.
The HPE6432.dll dynamic link library is generated by compiling the
HPE6432.c source file and linking it with the libHPE6432.lib
library file. When the HPE6432.c source file is modified by the user,
it must be recompiled and linked with the libHPE6432.lib library
file to produce a new HPE6432.lib library file and new HPE6432.dll
dynamic link library.
Agilent Technologies Visa or NIvisa library files.
• In order to use the VXIplug&play driver, either Agilent Technologies
VISA library or National Instruments VISA library must first be
installed; the VISA library that you install depends on the Slot 0
module being used. For further information, refer to “Hardware and
Software Requirements Prior to Installation” on page 1-3.
