Easy to Learn and Powerful Features
for Increased Productivity
Agilent VEE is a Visual Engineering
Environment that allows you to
program by creating intuitive “block
diagrams.” You select and edit
objects from pull- down menus and
connect them to each other by
wires to specify the program’s flow,
mimicking the order of tasks you
want to perform. Users can quickly
create, test, and update code
because programs can be run and
debugged on the fly by using
Agilent VEE’s Start, Stop, and
Pause buttons, as well as Watch
Window and Output Window. The
Modern Integrated Development
Environment with dockable tool
windows gives users a more
modern and streamlined
programming experience. Agilent
VEE illustrates the connections
between individual objects, and can
be color coded. so programs are
easily understood by others. With
the help of Code Completion and
Code Insight, users can create
programs easier and faster. Plus,
with Agilent VEE’s numerous
sample programs, demos and
context- sensitive help, beginners
and veteran programmers alike can
get started quickly and stay
productive. There is also an active
user’s forum that shares best
practices and helps other users
with common questions.

Designed for Test and Measurement
Agilent VEE is designed for
engineers and scientists who need
to quickly create and automate
measurements and tests. Agilent
VEE Pro can talk to any device
from any vendor using GPIB, LAN,
USB, RS- 232, VXI, LXI and other
interfaces or buses, including PXI
and SCXI data acquisition and
modular instrumentation devices
from National Instruments. Agilent
VEE Pro can control any standard
instruments and many vendor’s PC
plug- in cards with an instrument
driver, a vendor- supplied DLL or
via Agilent VEE Pro’s easy and
powerful Direct IO capability. With
Agilent VEE Pro, instrument
addresses and other parameters can
be verified at runtime and changed
on the fly, without reconfiguring
programs. Agilent VEE
automatically handles different data
types, providing automatic
conversion and giving you powerful
data handling capabilities with
minimal complex programming.
Agilent VEE’s compiler generates
optimized code that can be further
enhanced with its built- in Profiler.
The Profiler allows you to quickly
analyze critical sections of code to
save development time when fine-
tuning your programs.
Agilent VEE Pro comes standard
with a RunTime execution engine
that provides the ability to
distribute run- only Agilent VEE Pro
applications at no extra charge.
Open to the Software and Hardware
You Choose
Agilent VEE interfaces with popular
software and hardware tools. It
provides easy, menu- driven control
of Microsoft Excel for exchanging
data with spreadsheets and
automating spreadsheet operations.
Use Word for reports, Outlook for
paging and e- mail, and Access for
database operations. Agilent VEE
integrates the .NET Framework and
ActiveX, simplifying common tasks
and making powerful system
capabilities available to your
programs. Now it is easy to
complete tasks such as
programmatically sending an email
report or invoking a web page. With
the included ActiveX Automation
Server, other programs can call VEE
Pro UserFunctions. Agilent VEE Pro
supports all popular programming
languages, including Visual Basic,
C/C++, Visual C#, all .NET-
compliant languages and National
Instruments’ LabVIEW.
In addition to providing built- in
support for instruments and data
acquisition devices, Agilent VEE Pro
works with surface- mount
machines, robots and other
manufacturing equipment via the
.NET Framework or ActiveX
libraries supplied by the
manufacturer. And it can be used
as a standalone solution or
included in a custom in- house
solution.
Agilent VEE Pro programs can also
be monitored and diagnosed
remotely via the web or network.
