Any alternatives to the Keysight BenchVue software?
<< < (4/6) > >>
Jester:
I just tried installing command expert with Win7. I'm not sure what the conflict is but all I get is a "swirly" over a black pane, after 5 minutes of swirly I gave up...  It really should not be this difficult,  I'm loosing faith.

I installed Keysight Command Expert on my 4k Windows 10, 64 bit laptop; it reported success and told me it needed Keysight IO drivers which I found, downloaded and installed.  The driver installation was when it said it would install as secondary..

The main software runs fine and the only criticism (so far) is that the help has the tiny text and icon issue associated with older programs running on 4k screens - the solutions are:

a. Use a lower screen resolution
b. Use a magnifying glass (yes they are that small)
c. Wait for Keysight to fix
d. Use on a lower resolution PC.

I will get to trying with actual test gear in a day or so.
HighVoltage:
Great, that you got it running!
Every time in Command Expert, when you add an instrument, it downloads the command set for that instrument.

I have used the software only on Win7 64 so far on a 1920x1080 screen and all buttons were good readable.
Gandalf_Sr:
There are many programs that are affected by the tiny icons and text issue, even though 4k is becoming fairly ordinary.

TI's Code Composer Studio is one and Diptrace 64 bit is another (curiously, the workaround for Diptrace is to install the 32 bit version).

I attached a screen shot so you can see what it looks like - is anyone from Keysight looking at this I wonder?

[EDIT] Ran up today and connected to my 34461A and was able to control it with simple mouse clicks :D
Gandalf_Sr:
OK, so I added the Keysight 34461A, that was recognized and the list of commands was there.  Then I tried to add the Rigol DP832.  I had to use Keysight Connection Expert to find it using just the IP address before Keysight Command Expert could even see it but now, from either App, there's no Command Set found which means I need to add it.

edpalmer42 you said it was available from the IVI website but how do I add it?
