The N4980A is dependent upon low level Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA), such as the Keysight I/O libraries. If the PC onto which the N4980A will be installed already has Keysight I/O libraries installed, then they do not need to be installed again.

For communicating with instruments via USB, the FTDI VCP driver must be installed. If this is not automatically installed by the Windows OS via Plug And Play, it must be manually installed by the user. The FTDI VCP driver can be found at www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.
