NSTALLATION
To monitor and/or control the EX1200's instruments programmatically (via a user generated
program or through tools such as HP VEE, National Instrument's Switch Executive, etc.), two
additional components must be installed: the IVI Shared Components library and the provided
VTI Instruments driver. Follow these steps:
IVI Shared Components Installation
If this component was installed during a previous LXI instrument installation, please proceed to
Switch Instrument Driver Installation. First, close all other open programs, leaving only Windows
Explorer open. Navigate to the <CD-ROM Drive>:\LXI Drivers\EX Platform Requisites directory
on the CD and run the IVISharedComponents1.5.0.exe program. Next, follow the on-screen
instructions. Do not proceed to the next step until this installation completes successfully. If
instructed to reboot the PC, it will be necessary to do so at that time.
Switch Instrument Driver Installation
If the VTEXSwitch instrument driver was installed previously on the host PC, proceed to
System/LXISync Instrument Driver Installation. To install the VTEXSwitch instrument driver,
navigate to <CD-ROM Drive>:\LXI Drivers\EX Switch Driver, IVI on the CD and run the .msi
installer located in this directory.
System/LXISync Instrument Driver Installation
NOTE
Complete this step only if the LXISync capabilities of the EX1200 platform are required. Also, if
this driver was installed previously on the host PC, software installation is now complete.
To install the System/LXISync Instrument driver, navigate to <CD-ROM Drive>:\LXI Drivers\EX
System Driver, IVI on the CD and run the .msi installer located in this directory.
Please refer to VTEX Switch Driver Programmer's Manual for programming guidelines.
