The actual instrument driver itself is a DLL (Dynamic Linked Library) created
from:
q
A set of source (.C) files.
q
A set of header (.H) files, used for compiling the file as well as to describe the
driver’s calls to any program using the driver.
q
A standard driver library (.LIB) file, to provide the standard functionality all the
drivers would require.
This DLL is a set of calls to perform instrument actions — at heart, that’s all a
VXIplug&play driver is — a library of instrument calls.
This driver is accessed by Windows applications programs written in languages
such as Visual C++ or Visual BASIC, using programming environments such as
VEE or NI LabView.
A Windows Help (.HLP) file is included which provides descriptive information
and code samples for the functions in the VXIplug&play DLL. This help file can
be viewed in the standard Windows Help viewer. A viewer for HP-UX is
provided in /opt/hyperhelp - see the READ.ME file.
Manufacturer and model codes
If desired, the manufacturer code, model code and name of the VXI instruments
can be read from the file :\hpe1432\lib\vximodel.cf (on PC systems) or
/opt/e1432/lib/vximodel.cf (on UNIX systems).
The following list identifies the VXI models in this file:
Manufacturer Code Model Code Model Name
