Supported OS
------------
  Windows - Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (32 or 64-bit)


Requirement
-----------
Python Version Support: 3.6 – 3.10 (32-bit/64-bit)


Driver Download Options
------------------------
  1. Binary Packages for supported Python versions
  2. Source Package


Install
--------  
  Binary Package
    1. Copy the downloaded package (archive file) to a temp folder 
    2. Unzip it 
    3. Use pip install to install the driver - "pip install keysight_ktna-2.0.1-cp38-cp38-win32.whl” 
  
  Source Package
    1. Distributed source package means when the user runs pip install <package_name>, the binary package is built and installed 
       from the source package, compatible with the user’s environment. Important to note users cannot modify python driver APIs. 
    
    2. Prerequisites: 

      Python 3.6 to 3.10 

      C++ Compiler: MSVC compiler. Install Visual Studio (any edition) with "Desktop development with C++" workload selected OR
      if full VS ADE not needed, Build Tools for Visual Studio (command line interface) with "C++ build tools" workload selected. 

      CMake 3.16 or newer: CMake tools are used to build and install the driver Python module. If needed, install the latest stable 
      binary distribution for Windows or Linux from CMake.org. 

      VISA: The driver module uses VISA to communicate with the instrument. Any compliant implementation is acceptable. The latest
      version of Keysight IO Libraries Suite is recommended, includes VISA. 

      Copy the downloaded package to a temp folder 

      Unzip it 

      Use pip install to install the driver- “pip install keysight_ktna-2.0.1.tar.gz”. 


Python APIs, Help File and examples
--------------------------------------------- 
  Python driver is added in the "Lib\site-packages" under the Python directory.
  Help (html) is available in the temp folder. Home page - index.html.
  Examples are available in Help page "Example Code".
