IO Libraries Suite 15.5 Data Sheet Establish an error-free connection between your test instruments and your PC in less than 15 minutes Agilent E2094S IO Libraries Suite eliminates hours of effort and endless details that come with installing, con- necting and configuring PC-controlled test systems. Using this connectivity software, you can connect your instruments to your PC as easily as you connect a printer — even if your system combines instruments from multiple vendors. Simply install Agilent’s IO Libraries Suite on your PC. Then hook up the USB, Ethernet/LAN, RS-232 or GPIB cables between your instruments and your PC. In less than 15 minutes you have an error-free connection that simply works. When you install IO Libraries Suite on your PC, it dynamically identifies smart defaults for installation based on your hardware configuration and previously installed software. Of course, you can always customize the defaults if you wish. When installation is complete, the software automatically discovers instruments connected to your PC and automati- cally configures and verifies the inter- faces, no matter what vendor or what software application you use. “Connecting to instruments just works”

• Automatically detects instruments connected to your PC and config- ures the interfaces
• Compatible with GPIB, USB, Ethernet/LAN, RS-232, and VXI test instruments from a variety of vendors
• I/O software that enables instru- ment communication for a variety of development environments (Agilent VEE Pro, MATLAB NI LabVIEW, Microsoft Visual Studio ® and more)

1. Install Agilent IO Libraries Suite software on your PC 2. Hook up the USB, LAN, RS-232 or GPIB cables between your instruments and your PC 3. Detect instruments and devices, then configure interfaces using Connection Expert Easily mix instruments from different vendors Agilent IO Libraries Suite eliminates the headaches associated with trying to combine hardware and software from different vendors. The software is compatible with GPIB, USB, LAN and RS-232 test instruments, no matter who makes them. When you install the IO Libraries Suite, the software checks for the presence of other I/O software on your computer. If it finds another ven- dor’s VISA libraries (such as National Instruments), it automatically installs in a side by side mode that allows you to use your existing I/O software and the Agilent software together in multi-vendor systems without you being concerned with the behind-the- scenes details.

• Intelligent task guide designed for both experts and occasional users
• Easy-to-follow “Tree View” outline of all I/O interfaces helps you see connected devices immediately “It simply works” Write programs the way you want In addition the IO Libraries are compatible with a variety of applica- tion development environments and programming APIs including Agilent or NI VISA, VISA COM, SICL, and Agilent 488 (compatible with NI-488.2), giving you even more flexibility to choose the software and the hardware from any vendor to get your job done. Works with millions of existing instruments from hundreds of vendors Use the most trusted and reliable technology for your connections. The IO Libraries Suite ships with more than 350 instruments from Agilent Technologies. It works with literally millions of existing instruments — helping you to minimize the number of software packages you need. You won’t have to switch between pack- ages as you use a mix of existing and new instruments in the future.

System Requirements: Agilent IO Libraries version 15.5

I/O utilities Connection Expert Automatically scans and confi gures your instrument IO, helps you get connected quickly and easily and displays the status of your interfaces and instruments. Interactive IO Lets you quickly send commands to instruments and read responses. Interactive LXI Allows you to send and receive LXI events, monitor, and manage LXI instrument precision clocks. IO Monitor Lets you monitor and debug I/O calls made on any of Agilent’s supported buses using Agilent SICL, VISA, or VISA COM. VISA Assistant Uses VISA I/O Library to communicate with and control VXI, GPIB and serial instruments. Main functionality is replaced by the Interactive IO utility but in addition allows you to change VISA attributes, confi gure drivers and provides memory I/O. IO control Provides easy access to the IO Libraries Suite from the PC screen system tray. VXI resource manager Provides confi guration of the IEEE 1394 connection from PC to VXI. viFind32 Debug utility uses VISA functions to fi nd resources and lists them in a console window. * See the latest information on supported interfaces and operating systems for IO Libraries Suite 15.5 at www.agilent.com/fi nd/iolib_revmatrix.

I/O software compatibility—get the best of both worlds Even if you have multiple vendor I/O software installed, you get the best of all worlds with Agilent’s open IO Libraries Suite. For instance, the IO Libraries Suite automatically detects NI’s software and safely installs Agilent’s I/O software to make them compat- ible with each other, so you have maximum flexibility for instrument control with the mixed vendor system you use.
