 Keysight IO Libraries Suite 2024 Update 1:

New Feature(s):

  • Installation Split into Two Installers

    IO Libraries Suite installation process has undergone a major change. For IO Libraries 2024 Update1 or later, there will be two installers:

    • Prerequisites Installer

      Installs all the necessary dependencies and components that the Keysight IO Libraries Suite requires to function correctly. This might include libraries, drivers, and other software components essential for running the main software.
    • Main Installer
      Installs the primary Keysight IO Libraries Suite software itself. This is the core application that users interact with for their tasks.
      The separate installers allow for more modular installation and easier management of dependencies, potentially reducing the overall installation size and improving flexibility.
      Always start with the prerequisites installer and then proceed with the main installer.
    • Repair Operation

      Re-running the installer will perform a repair operation. There is no explicit “repair” option.

    • Log Files
      The new installer generates multiple log files beginning with ‘kt_’ in the %TEMP% directory. Zip these files for troubleshooting purposes if needed.

    • Anonymous Secure Socket Connection
    IO Libraries 2024 Update 1 introduces secure, encrypted, anonymous communication on a Socket connection.
  • Addition of a new VISA attribute VI_KTATTR_TCPIP_SASL_PASSWORD
    Use this attribute for PLAIN/SCRAM secure Authentication over HiSLIP Connection via Programming.

  • Addition of a New VISA utility

      With IO Libraries Suite 2024 Update 1 onwards, you will not get the option to choose a primary VISA during installation, if another VISA is already present, the installer configures Keysight VISA as a secondary VISA. If no VISA exists, it configures Keysight VISA as the primary VISA. IO Libraries 2024 Update 1 provides a CLI utility that lets you choose a primary VISA anytime. You can access this utility by navigating to the IO Libraries desktop icon, selecting Utilities, and then choosing Set 32-Bit Primary VISA.

      • The utility is for Windows 64-bit OS.
      • It is a CLI application that lists all installed VISA(s) and allows the user to choose the primary VISA interactively or via parameters.
      • The utility should run as admin.
      • The utility handles cases where visa32.dll is used by other applications, prompting userd to close or forcibly terminate them if necessary.
        New Directory for VISA DLLs

      • The utility will use a pre-created folder to store the visa32.dll files from each VISA vendor. Place them at the following location:
        C:\Program Files (x86)\IVI Foundation\VISA\WinNT\visa32Store

NOTE

  • Before starting the installation, you must manually uninstall Keysight IO Libraries Suite versions older than IO Libraries 2024.
  • VXI is not supported on Windows 8 and Windows 11

Known Issues

  • You may need to install .NET Framework 3.5 for 32-bit VISA applications.

1 USB instruments are those that support the USBTMC or USBTMC-USB488 specifications.

2 The E5813A Networked 5-Port USB Hub and E5805A USB/4-Port RS-232 Interface are shipped with driver software that allows them to appear as additional ports on the Windows system. They are not directly supported by the IO Libraries software, but can be used with the indicated IO Libraries Suite revisions.

3 LAN instruments are VXI-11, SICL-LAN, HiSLIP (IO Libraries version 16.0 and later), or raw sockets.

4 The PXI interface is not a physical interface as are the GPIB, LAN, USB and other physical interfaces. The PXI interface is merely a software representation of an interface. Keysight IO Libraries supports two PXI interfaces, PXI0 and PXI10, allowing the combination of all local physical PXI resources under a single interface named PXI0, and USB/PXI resources under the interface named PXI10. All PXI chassis and modules found by the active PXI Resource Manager are automatically grouped under PXI0 interface. USB/PXI resources are only reported by theKeysight PXI Resource Manager.

5 VXI is not supported on Windows 8 and Windows 11.
