IVI-COM drivers are tightly integrated with Agilent's T&M Toolkit and optimized for any open industry standard software development environment, including Microsoft Visual Studio^® .NET, Visual Basic, and Visual C++.

Agilent's IVI-COM drivers simplify instrument control when you are working in a COM-compatible environment. IVI-COM allows you to programmatically control your instrumentation and take measurements while providing a greater degree of instrument interchangeability and code reuse. Agilent’s IVI-COM drivers support the use of IntelliSense for even greater ease-of-use within a Microsoft development environment.

You can download IVI-COM drivers today by going to the IVI-COM Drivers and Components section of the ADN Drivers: by Driver Type. IVI-COM drivers are available for many Agilent instruments including power supplies, function generators, multimeters, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and switches.
