Getting Started with HP VEE

Hewlett-Packard Visual Engineering Environment (HP VEE) is a visual
programming language optimized for instrument control applications. To
develop programs in HP VEE, you connect graphical 'objects' instead of
writing lines of code. These programs resemble easy-to-understand
block diagrams with lines.
HP VEE allows you to leverage your investment in textual languages by
integrating with languages such as C, C++, Visual Basic, FORTRAN,
Pascal, and HP BASIC.
HP VEE controls GPIB, VXI, Serial, PC Plug-in, and LAN instruments
directly over the interfaces or by using instrument drivers.
HP VEE supports VXIplug&play drivers in the WIN, WIN95, WINNT, and
HP-UX frameworks. In addition, versions 3.2 and above of HP VEE
support the graphical Function Panel interface, providing a function tree
of the hierarchy of the driver.
N OT E This appendix assumes that you are using Windows 95. If you are using
Windows NT, please replace every reference to win95 with winnt.
