*********************** **** Read Me First **** *********************** Version 1.6.2.0 January 2018 Introducing the AgilentInfiniium IVI Driver for the Keysight Infiniium Oscilloscopes --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This instrument driver provides access to the functionality of the Infiniium Oscilloscopes through a COM server or ANSI C API which also complies with the IVI specifications. This driver works in any development environment which supports COM or C programming including Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft .NET, Keysight VEE Pro, National Instruments LabView, LabWindows CVI, MATLAB(32 bit only) and others. Supported Instruments --------------------- 54830B, 54830D, 54831B, 54831D, 54832B, 54833A, 54832D, 54833D, MSO8104A, MSO8064A, DSO8104A, DSO8064A, 54835A, 54853A, 54854A, 54855A, DSO80804A, DSO81004A, DSO81204A, DSO81304A, 54845A, 54845B, 54846A, 54846B, 54810A, 54815A, 54820A, 54825A, DSO80204B, DSO80304B, DSO80404B, DSO80604B, DSO80804B, DSO81004B, DSO81204B, DSO81304B, DSO91304A, DSO91204A, DSO90804A, DSO90604A, DSO90404A, DSA91304A, DSA91204A, DSA90804A, DSA90604A, DSA90404A, DSO90254A, DSA90254A, DSO90808A, DSO91208A, DSO91308A, MSO9404A, MSO9254A, MSO9104A, MSO9064A, DSO9404A, DSO9254A, DSO9104A, DSO9064A, DSAX91604A, DSAX92004A, DSAX92504A, DSAX92804A, DSAX93204A, DSOX91604A, DSOX92004A, DSOX92504A, DSOX92804A, DSOX93204A, DSA93004L, DSO93004L, DSOV084A, DSOV134A, DSOV164A, DSOV204A, DSOV254A, DSOV334A, DSAV084A, DSAV134A, DSAV164A, DSAV204A, DSAV254A, DSAV334A, MSOV084A, MSOV134A, MSOV164A, MSOV204A, MSOV254A, MSOV334A, DSOZ504A, DSOZ634A, DSOZ334A, DSOZ254A, DSOZ204A, DSAZ634A, DSAZ504A, DSAZ334A, DSAZ254A, DSAZ204A, DSOS064A, DSOS104A, DSOS204A, DSOS254A, DSOS404A, DSOS604A, DSOS804A, MSOS064A, MSOS104A, MSOS204A, MSOS254A, MSOS404A, MSOS604A, MSOS804A, DSOS054A Installation ------------- System Requirements: The driver installation will check for the following requirements. If not found, the installer will either abort, warn, or install the required component as appropriate. Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7 32-bit, 64-bit Windows 8 32-bit, 64-bit Windows 10 32-bit, 64-bit Shared Components Before this driver can be installed, your computer must already have: IVI Shared Components Version: 2.4.2 or newer installed VISA Shared Components Version 5.8 or newer installed The IVI Shared Components installers are available from: http://www.ivifoundation.org/shared_components/Default.aspx VISA-COM Any compliant implementation is acceptable. Typically, VISA-COM is installed with VISA and other I/O library modules. The latest version of Keysight's IO Libraries is recommended and includes VISA-COM. You can download the latest version from: http://www.keysight.com/find/iosuite Uninstall --------- This driver can be uninstalled like any other software from the Control Panel using "Add or Remove Programs" or "Programs and Features" dialog. The IVI Shared Components may also be uninstalled like any other software from the Control Panel using the "Add or Remove Programs" or "Program & Features" dialog. Note: All IVI-COM/C drivers require the IVI Shared Components to function. To completely remove IVI components from your computer, uninstall all drivers and then uninstall the IVI Shared Components. Source Code ----------- Driver source code is available by enabling the "Source Code" option in the "Custom Setup" dialog when installing the driver. This code is provided as is for informational purposes only. Modification of this code is not supported. Code is a Visual Studio 2010 C++ project and may be updated to new versions of Visual Studio. Caution: Once you have installed version 2.x of the IVI Shared Components, you will not be able to build IVI drivers and applications developed with earlier versions. You will need to upgrade those drivers/applications to the new IVI Shared Components and to build on Visual Studio 2010 or higher or you will need to build those drivers/applications on a different machine that does not have version 2.x of the IVI Shared Components. Start Menu Help File -------------------- A shortcut to the driver help file is added to the Start Menu, All Programs, Keysight IVI Drivers, AgilentInfiniium group. It contains "Getting Started" information on using the driver in a variety of programming environments as well as documentation on IVI and instrument specific methods and properties. You will also see shortcuts to the Readme and Introduction files and programming examples for this driver. Additional Setup ---------------- .NET Framework The .NET Framework itself is not required by this driver. If you plan to use the driver with .NET, the minimal .NET framework version is: 2.0 The .NET Framework requires an interop assembly for a COM server. A Primary Interop Assembly, along with an XML file for IntelliSense is installed with the driver. The driver's PIA along with IVI PIAs are installed by default in: drive:\\IVI Foundation\IVI\Bin\Primary Interop Assemblies The PIA is also installed into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) if you have the .NET framework installed. Using a New Version of the Driver --------------------------------- New versions of this Keysight IVI-COM/C driver may have a new ProgId. If you use the version dependent ProgId in CoCreateInstance, you will need to modify and recompile your code to use the new ProgID once you upgrade to the next version of the driver. Doing a side-by-side installation of the driver to use multiple versions of the driver is not supported. If you need to go back to an older version of the driver, you need to uninstall the later version and install the older version. If you use the version independent ProgId in CoCreateInstance, you will not need to modify and recompile your code. The new version of the driver has been tested to be backwards compatible with previous versions. To access the new functionality in a new version of the driver you will need to use the latest numbered IAgilentInfiniium[n] interface rather than the IAgilentInfiniium interface. The IAgilentInfiniium[n]. property will return a pointer to the new IAgilentInfiniium[n] interface. The IAgilentInfiniium[n] interface contains the methods and properties for the new functionality and inherits all prior interface functionality. The new interfaces were introduced rather than modifying the existing interfaces for backwards compatibility. The interfaces that were previously shipped have not been changed. Pre-existing .NET client applications must be re-build before using the new version of the driver.
