Windows 95 and Agilent SICL F.01.01 and Earlier
-----------------------------------------------
Windows 95 32-bit Agilent SICL and VISA versions F.01.01 and
earlier will, by default, yield the CPU during I/O operations.
Agilent IntuiLink requires that the CPU not be yielded during
I/O operations. This is the default operation for Agilent SICL
versions F.01.02 and later.
For Agilent SICL versions F.01.01 and earlier, add a registry entry
which instructs SICL not to yield during I/O operations.
Add the following key:
"HKLM/Software/Hewlett-Packard/SICL/CurrentVersion/Options"
Under this key, add a string entry "Yield" with a value "false".
Windows 95 and Agilent SICL 'Options' Menu
------------------------------------------
In the I/O Configuration program, the following selections
are available in the 'Options' menu:
SICL Yield (Win95 only)
- False (Default) * SICL does not yield the CPU during I/O
- True * SICL yields the CPU during I/O
Note: SICL Yield must be 'False' for proper operation of some
Plug&Play drivers. This will prevent a potential deadlock
from within a Windows message handler.
LabVIEW Version 5.1 Required
----------------------------
The Agilent General Purpose I/O ActiveX Control will not work properly
in versions of LabVIEW prior to version 5.1.
