Introducing the LabVIEW 8.2 Driver for the Agilent 34980A
-------------------------------------------------------
The instrument driver provides access to the functionality of
the Agilent 34980A from National Instruments LabVIEW software.

Installation
-------------
Run the self-extracting ".exe" and verify that the default path is correct for
your \instr.lib directory for LabVIEW. Then click Unzip to complete the 
installation.
Note. The default path (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 
8.2\instr.lib)
assumes that you have LabVIEW 8.2. If you have a later version of LabView, you will need to 
change
the path name in the window.

When the installation is complete, a directory structure similar to the 
following is created:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\instr.lib\ag34980a\

Examples
actstat.dac.mnu
actstat.mnu
ag34980A.llb
config.dac.mnu
config.mnu
config.temperature.mnu
data.advanced.mnu
data.dac.mnu
data.mnu
data.temperature.mnu
dir.mnu
utility.mnu

Migration to Later LabVIEW Releases (version later than 8.2)
----------------------------------------------
If you should need to use this library or examples on a revision of LabVIEW later than 8.2, 
you should run that version of LabVIEW, and place the examples into one directory and the .llb into another. 
Then, from LabVIEW use Tools -> Mass Compile and point to the directory with the .llb.  
Compile that .llb. Then move that .llb into the directory:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\instr.lib

After doing that, do a Mass Compile of the Examples in their directory.
