03 | Keysight | GPIB, USB and Instrument Control for easy PC-to-Instrument Connections - Data Sheet
Connecting is as Easy as 1-2-3
1. Install Keysight IO Libraries
Suite software on your PC
2. Hook up the instrument
control hardware (USB, LAN,
RS-232 or GPIB cables)
between your instruments
and your PC
3. Detect instruments and
devices, then configure
interfaces with Connection
Expert
Establish a connection in less
than 15 minutes
Keysight IO Libraries Suite eliminates
the many working hours it takes to
connect and configure PC-controlled
test systems, especially if it involves
instruments from multiple vendors.
In fact, with IO Libraries, connecting
your instruments to a PC is as easy as
connecting a PC to a printer.
Easily mix instruments from
different vendors
Keysight IO Libraries Suite eliminates
headaches associated with trying to
combine hardware and software from
different vendors. The software is
compatible with GPIB, USB, LAN and
RS-232 test instruments that adhere to
the supported interface standards, no
matter who makes them.
When you install the IO Libraries Suite,
the software checks for the presence of
other I/O software on your computer. If
it finds another vendor’s VISA libraries,
it automatically installs in a side-by-side
mode that allows you to use the existing
I/O software and the Keysight software
together in multi-vendor systems.
Work in the environment that’s
comfortable to you
In addition, the IO Libraries are
compatible with a variety of application
development environments and
programming APIs including Keysight or
NI VISA, VISA COM, SICL, Keysight 488
(compatible with NI-488.2), and Keysight
VEE. There is flexibility to choose the
software and hardware of your choice to
get your job done.
Works with millions of existing
instruments from hundreds of
vendors
Keysight instrument control hardware and
IO Libraries are trusted and known for
their reliability. The IO Libraries ships with
more than 150 instruments from Keysight
Technologies. If you already own an
Keysight instrument control hardware or
instrument, you can download the latest
version of Keysight IO Libraries Suite for
free.
