I wasn't aware of the existence of this FREE software.. this is a good summary sheet. But how do you work with non-Keysight instruments? For example, how would you connect to a Rigol DP832? Is it possible to create your own drivers with help from Keysight Command Expert? --- End quote --- Looks like you can use the DP832. Command Expert uses drivers from the IVI (Interchangeable Virtual Instruments) Foundation www.ivifoundation.org . The Rigol DP832 is listed in their driver registry. Does anyone know if there are any pre-SCPI devices in that IVI driver listing? Ed |

I'm going to try it anyway this weekend but does anyone know if the Command Expert drivers conflict with the NI VISA drivers? |
| HighVoltage:
I was so tired of the VISA conflicts between NI/Keithley and Keysight, that I got a separate laptop for the Keithley instruments and one for the Keysight instruments. Command Expert required the Keysight/Agilent I/O library to be installed with the Keysight VISA activated. |
| Gandalf_Sr:
Hmmm, I don't own any Keithley instruments so maybe I should uninstall the NI drivers and install Command Expert? |
| dacman:
Keysight VISA installation offers to install as a secondary VISA and to leave NI-VISA as primary (even if NI is not installed), then Keysight Command Expert and BenchVue will use the secondary VISA. I did use NI MAX the other day to control a Keysight power supply that had only RJ-45 and USB remote ports, although I had to manually type in the commands. |
