Agilent Vee makes ties to NI
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 6/1/2005
With version 7.5, Agilent Vee adds access to numerous PC functions. Most notably, it now works with National Instruments' NI-DAQ drivers to identify NI cards. This feature lets you incorporate NI card-based instruments (PCI, PXI, and SCXI) into automated test systems that use IEEE 488, LAN, or USB-based instruments.
Vee 7.5 also adds an Excel menu that lets you write Excel functions into your Vee applications. For example, you can save data in Excel and you can add charts and graphs into spreadsheets through your Vee programs. You also get access to Microsoft .NET functions so you can create folders, copy files, or send e-mail. Another new feature includes more sample programs for commonly used instruments such as DMMs and scopes. The examples can run as stand-alone Vee programs or you can incorporate them into larger applications.
Price: $1495; upgrade from Vee 7.0—$495; upgrade from Vee 6.0—$997. Agilent Technologies, www.agilent.com/find/vee.
