ivi driver of agilent devices

[Laurent_B]

Hello

I want to use IVI drivers of Agilent devices with TestStand : 34401A, 33220A and 33502A :

For the 34401A, I installed the IVI driver from the NI site and it worked well

For the 33220A, I also installed the IVI driver from the NI site. It works well one time. On the second execution of the sequence in TestStand, it freezes. I have to quit TestStand and re-launch it to make it work once.

I don't find any IVI driver of 33502A in the NI site. I found one on the Agilent site. I installed it but has been unable to make it work from TestStand

So my question is: Why are there 2 IVI drivers for one device (I downloaded them, revision and size are different).?

34401A :

Which are the best to install ?

Agilent drivers require 'Agilent IO librairies' which looks like NI-MAX. Is it possible to install both software without problems ? Is it the solution to drive 33220A and 33502A from TestStand ?

Thanks for your answers

Hello Laurent,

Drivers are always update due to bug fixing, that's why you have differents revisions.

The best to install is the one which has the last revision.

There is no indication against installing both software.
