will
not overwrite
the other vendor’s VISA.
5. Agilent
GPIB-VXI
Installation
Use this option if your system includes an Agilent VXI Command Module
(such as an E1406, etc.) and another vendor’s VISA. This option provides
GPIB-VXI support for VXI Command Modules on another vendor’s VISA.
SICL and Agilent VISA are
not installed.
6. Custom

including SICL, including SICL, VISA, E8491, I-SCPI, and GPIB-VXI
Support components. I-SCPI is supplied for backward compatibility but is
not recommended for new applications.
