Programming Your Instruments 6
Agilent Connectivity Guide 135
Obtaining Instrument Drivers
Selected combinations of program environments and I/O are included in
the sample programs in this guide. You will need to acquire the
programming environment independently of your I/O and instrument
software.
In many cases, you receive two CDs with your purchase of an Agilent
hardware or software product: one is the Automation-Ready CD with
Agilent IO Libraries Suite and the other is the product-specific CD.
VISA, VISA COM, SICL, and Agilent 488 I/O libraries are available as
part of the Agilent IO Libraries Suite, on the Automation-Ready CD.
The product CD typically contains drivers and/or sample programs that
increase the ease of use of programming or support your instrument’s
measurement applications.
IVI-COM, VXIplug&play, and other types of instrument drivers for the
Agilent 33220A and other instruments may be obtained at
http://www.agilent.com/find/drivers. To download a driver, you will be
asked to register on the Agilent Developer Network (ADN) free of
charge.
The types of drivers on ADN include:
• IVI-COM drivers and components
• VXIplug&play drivers
• IntuiLink connectivity software (Agilent IntuiLink Toolbars,
which provide access to instruments in Microsoft Excel and
Microsoft Word)
• VEE panel drivers
• D-SCPI drivers
