The HP 816x VXIplug&play Instrument Driver
Introduction to Programming
The BASIC include file is hp816x.bas. You can find this file in
the directory ~vxipnp\win95\include, where ~ is the
directory in the VXIPNP variable.
By default, ~ is equivalent to C:\. This means that the file is in
C:\vxipnp\win95\include.
You may also need to include the file visa.bas. visa.bas is
provided with your VISA DLL.
HP VEE 5.01 (or higher)
Your copy of HP VEE for Windows contains a document titled
Using VXIplug&play drivers with HP VEE for Windows. This
document contains the detailed information you need for HP VEE
applications.
LabWindows CVI/ (R) 4.0 (or higher)
The HP 816x VXIplug&play Instrument Driver is supplied as a
Dynamic Link Library (.DLL) file.
There are several advantages to using the .DLL form of the driver,
including those listed below:
• transportability across different computer platforms,
• a higher level of support for the compiled driver from Hewlett-
Packard,
• a faster load time for your project.
LabWindows/CVI (R) will attempt by default to load the source
version of the instrument driver. To load the DLL, you must include
the file hp816x.fp in your project. hp816x.fp can be found in
the directory vxipnp\win95\hp816x.
Do not include hp816x.C in your project.
You must provide an include file for hp816x.H. You do this by
ensuring that the directory ~vxipnp\win95\include is added
to the include paths (CVI Project Option menu).
~ is the directory in the VXIPNP variable. By default, ~ is
equivalent to C:\. This means that the file is in
C:\vxipnp\win95\include.
