TekVISA
TekVISA is a library of industry-standard compliant software components, organized according to the standard VISA model
established by the VXIplug&play Systems Alliance. Use TekVISA in software to write interoperable instrument drivers to handle
communicating between software applications and your oscilloscope. TekVISA offers the following features and benefits:
■
Provides end users with a consistent methodology for using instrument drivers from a variety of vendors
■
Provides programmers with language interface libraries for use with multiple application development environments, such as
Microsoft C /C++, Microsoft Visual Basic, LabVIEW graphics software using the G language, and MATLAB analysis
software.
■
Provides a configuration utility for setting up additional VISA resources
■
Allows software installation and connectivity on any number of PCs
TekVISA ActiveX Control (TVC)
The TekVISA Control (TVC) uses Microsoft Windows ActiveX control technology to simplify access from Microsoft Office and
Visual BASIC applications to TekVISA and the underlying instrument.
This is accomplished by providing support for key TekVISA features within an ActiveX control object that is compatible with
Excel’s Visual BASIC for Applications, Visual BASIC 6.0, and other popular programming environments for Microsoft Windows.
TekVISA excel toolbar
The TekVISA Excel Toolbar allows direct, fast transfer of instrument measurements or captured waveforms to an Excel 97 and/or
Excel 2000 worksheets. Transfer is via a toolbar that is integrated into Excel, implemented using the TekVISA ActiveX Control
(TVC) and the Visual BASIC for Applications macro editor built into Excel.
Source code for the toolbar is accessible through Excel’s built-in VBA editor for use as a learning tool for using the TekVISA
ActiveX Control, or to cut-and-paste selected components to new VB applications.
VXI 11.2 LAN server
The VXI 11.2 LAN Server provides software connectivity between your instrument and remote PCs over an Ethernet LAN. This
tool is a client-side component built-in with TekVISA on each remote PC, you must install another copy of TekVISA to make use
of its client-side component.
The VXI-11 standard specifies a protocol for communication with devices over a network via a network instrument server. This
protocol uses the ONC/RPC (Open Network Computing/Remote Procedure Call) standard that, in turn, is based on TCP/IP.
Report generator
Report Generator, a Microsoft Windows application, lets you create custom reports for displaying your oscilloscope data.
Report Generator enables you to generate and print reports directly from the oscilloscope, enhancing your application capabilities
by simplifying the process of creating and maintaining reports.
IVI drivers
IVI drivers conform to specifications produced by the IVI Foundation.
Unlike VXI-plug&play drivers, IVI drivers provide a standard interface to different classes of instruments, including oscilloscopes
and spectrum analyzers.
IVI drivers have the ability to simulate instruments, automatically check ranges, and multithread safety features.
Tek LXI
Tek LXI conforms to the LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) standard. The LXI standard defines the communications
protocols that allow communication with the instrument over a local area network (LAN).
