I/O utilities
Connection
Automatically scans and configures your instrument IO, helps you
Expert
get connected quickly and easily and displays the status of your
interfaces and instruments.
Interactive IO Lets you quickly send commands to instruments and read responses.
Interactive LXI Allows you to send and receive LXI events, monitor, and manage LXI
instrument precision clocks.
IO Monitor
Lets you monitor and debug I/O calls made on any of Agilent’s
supported buses using Agilent SICL, VISA, or VISA COM.
VISA Assistant Uses VISA I/O Library to communicate with and control VXI, GPIB
and serial instruments. Main functionality is replaced by the
Interactive IO utility but in addition allows you to change VISA
attributes, configure drivers and provides memory I/O.
IO control
Provides easy access to the IO Libraries Suite from the PC screen
system tray.
VXI resource Provides configuration of the IEEE 1394 connection from PC to VXI.
manager
viFind32
Debug utility uses VISA functions to find resources and lists them in
a console window.

I/O software
compatibility—get the
best of both worlds
Even if you have multiple vendor
I/O software installed, you get the
best of all worlds with Agilent’s
open IO Libraries Suite. For
instance, the IO Libraries Suite
automatically detects NI’s software
and safely installs Agilent’s I/O
software to make them compat-
ible with each other, so you have
maximum flexibility for instrument
control with the mixed vendor
system you use.
Ordering information
The Agilent IO Libraries Suite is
delivered to you on the “Automation-
Ready CD.” The CD is included with
