What You Need to Get Started
To use NI-VISA, you need the following:
- Appropriate hardware, in the form of a National Instruments GPIB, MXI/VXI, or serial interface board. For other hardware interfaces, the computer's standard ports should be sufficient for most applications.
- For GPIB applications, install NI-488.2. For VXI applications, install NI-VXI. For other hardware interfaces, NI-VISA uses the system's standard drivers.
- NI-VISA distribution media
