Command Expert 2024

About Command Expert

Keysight's Command
Expert software combines instrument commands, documentation, syntax
checking, command execution, and code generation in one simple interface.
Command Expert works with instruments that use Standard Commands for
Programmable Instrumentation (SCPI), IVI-C,  IVI-COM,
or IVI.NET drivers.

For each SCPI command set you install, Command Expert generates a
SCPI.NET driver for Visual Studio applications.

Command Expert
Add-ons let you use Command Expert for easy instrument control in
Excel, LabVIEW, MATLAB, Python, SystemVue, VEE, and Visual Studio.

What's in Command Expert 2024?

New Features and
improvements:

Addition of Command Expert 64-bit
version

Command
Expert is now available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. You will find 2 shortcuts (Keysight Command Expert
and Keysight Command Expert (64-bit) )to launch
the application.

For
IVI drivers providing 32-bit and 64-bit support, either
version of Command Expert can be used.

For
IVI drivers that only support 64-bit, the 64-bit version of Command
Expert must be used.

Adds support for the following
Add-ins/ Add-ons:

MATLAB 2023b and 2024a

LabView 2023 and 2024

Python 3.12

Enhancements:

Updated
Errors or Warnings in Generated MATLAB Code

MATLAB R2021a
introduces the visadev API as the replacement for the visa API when
establishing connections to VISA devices. Using the visa API with newer
versions of MATLAB may result in errors.

To ensure
compatibility, when exporting sequences to run in different MATLAB versions,
Command Expert's latest update addresses this change by generating code
suitable for both scenarios: one for MATLAB versions from R2016a to R2021a, and
another for versions from R2021a onwards.

Defect Fixes:

Updated scpiSource.ini file
to use the HTTPS URL when an older version exists.

Installing Command Expert 2023 over an existing version did not update
the scpiSource.ini file,
causing users to continue using outdated URLs.

Supported Instruments
