Software Applications
Keysight soft front panels provide easy-to-use instrument
communications. The PXI matrix 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.
The matrix 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 com-
plementary PXI products are currently available, such as
multimeters, waveform generators, local oscillators,
digitizers, and RF switch modules.
Software Platform
IO Libraries
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.

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.
With a broad selection of drivers already included, any
Keysight PXI matrix switch can be swapped out, replaced,
or upgraded with the latest version, requiring only minimal
software adjustments.
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.
