About HP I/O Libraries Control
Provides the HP I/O Libraries Control version number.
There are no SCPI instrument drivers installed in, or downloaded to, the
HP E8491B. While this does not impact message-based instruments,
register-based instruments in IEEE 1394 based systems are usually
programmed using their VXIplug&play drivers.
The HP VXIplug&play drivers are located on the HP Universal Instrument
Drivers CD which ships with the E8491B and with each VXI instrument.The
installer program on the driver CD is similar to that on the I/O libraries CD.
Once the drivers have been installed, reboot the PC.
Note
If you are updating an existing VXI system to use the HP E8491B and
IEEE 1394 serial bus, we highly recommend that you obtain the latest
version of the HP VXIplug&play drivers. Information on the latest drivers
available can be found on the World Wide Web at
