Drivers
Keysight provides instrument drivers that work with your choice
of software, saving time and preserving software and hardware
investments. Keysight modular instruments come with IVI-COM,
IVI-C, and LabVIEW software drivers that work in the most
popular test and measurement development environments
including LabVIEW, MATLAB, LabWindows/CVI, Visual Studio C,
C++, C#, VEE, and Visual Basic.
The multiplexer switch modules are PXI compliant with a J1
connector and can be used in PXI chassis with cPCI (J1), PXI-1
(J1 only), or PXIe hybrid slot connectors.
The PXI format offers high performance in a small, rugged package.
It is an ideal deployment platform for many automated test
systems. In addition, a wide array of complementary PXI products
are currently available, such as multimeters, waveform generators,
local oscillators, digitizers, and RF switch modules.
With a broad selection of drivers already included, any Keysight
PXI Multiplexer switch can be swapped out, replaced, or upgraded
with the latest version, requiring only minimal software adjustments.

IO libraries
Easy software integration
In addition, application code examples are included for LabVIEW,
LabWindows/CVI, Visual Studio C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, and
MATLAB, providing switch set-up and basic functionality. These
application code examples are easily modified to quickly integrate
the switch module into your measurement system.
Keysight IO Libraries Suite offers fast and easy instrument
connections and now extends to modular instruments. IO Libraries
Suite 16 adds support for PXI, helping you display all of the
modules in your system, whether they are PXI, PXIe, or AXIe, as
well as view information about installed software. In addition, the
new version allows you to more easily find the right driver and
start module soft front panels directly with Keysight Connection
Expert.
Software applications
Keysight soft front panels provide easy-to-use instrument
communications. The switch graphical user interface guides
developers through module setup so users can quickly configure
the switch states. Switch control is also possible through the
wide selection of instrument program interfaces.
