VXI plug&play Driver
Your analyzer is VXI plug&play compliant. VXI plug&play drivers
provide a high level control interface for the analyzer, thereby reducing
the level of instrument-specific knowledge required to program the
analyzer. The driver for the HP 8712ET/ES and HP 8714 ET/ES
functions in Win95, Win98, and WinNT (3.51 or higher) and was
designed for the following programming platforms:
• Microsoft Visual C++ version 4.0 or higher
• Microsoft Visual BASIC version 5.0 or higher
• Borland C++ version 4.5 or higher
• HP VEE version 3.2 or higher
• National Instruments Lab Window/CVI version 4.0.1 or higher
• National Instrument LabVIEW version 5.00 or higher
