www.vtiinstruments.com SING THE RIVER The EMX-75XX series may be used in a variety of environments including: Visual Basic, C#, C++, LabView. VTI instruments provides a IVI-C and IVI-COM compliant driver as well as a shared object that can be used on Linux systems that comply with the Linux Standard Base (Version 3.1).
VTI Instruments EMX-75XX SING THE SERIES NITIALIZING LOSING THE NSTRUMENT The base interface of the EMX-75XX IVI driver, VTEXDIO (LibDIO on Linux), is used to open and close connections to the instrument as well as containing pointers to all other interfaces to access the functionality of the instrument.
www.vtiinstruments.com • Cache: Per the IVI specification, this option “specifies whether or not to cache the value of attributes.” Caching allows IVI drivers to maintain certain instrument settings to avoid sending redundant commands. The standard allows for certain values to be cached always or never.

www.vtiinstruments.com ECTION SFP O PERATION NTRODUCTION The EMX-2500 chassis accommodates the EMX-75XX card and provides an internal web page, which allows easy configuration, management and troubleshooting of the device. This internal Soft Front Panel (SFP) is a JavaScript based application which is designed to work, within web browser environment.
VTI Instruments 4-1: LXI D EMX-2500 S IGURE ISCOVERY OOL WITH ELECTED Alternatively, the EMX-2500 may also be discovered using Internet Explorer’s Bonjour for Windows plug-in. The IP address of the EMX-2500 can also be entered into the address bar of any web browser to view the embedded web page.
www.vtiinstruments.com Multiple Network Ports It is possible that the user computer, can have multiple network adaptors (physical/virtual). Common example of this case, is use of Wireless Internet/Wi-Fi in Laptop computers, whose Wired Ethernet connections are connected to LXI device connected network. In some cases, virtual network adaptors could have been created for use by some of the installed applications on user system.
