Interactive IO Overview

Interactive IO is a software utility that lets you interactively send commands to instruments and read the responses without writing any program code. You can use Interactive IO to:

• Quickly verify connectivity to your instrument
• Troubleshoot communication problems
• Become familiar with the instrument's command set
• Rapidly prototype commands and check the instrument's responses before writing code

Interactive IO contains a number of commonly used commands to simplify communicating with instruments.

Select the instrument that you want to configure. Click the Interactive IO icon in Connection Expert.

Alternately, you can start Interactive IO from Keysight IO Control by clicking Utilities > Interactive IO.

See the Interactive IO Help for usage instructions.

Interactive IO does not operate with PXI (modular) instruments. Windows users with PXI instruments, use the instrument's soft front panel instead of Interactive IO.
