Quick-Control Interfaces
Communicate with IVI-C-based instruments using Quick-Control
Oscilloscope, Function Generator, and RF Signal Generator
The Quick-Control interfaces are used to control oscilloscopes, function generators, or RF signal generators that use an underlying IVI-C driver. You do not have to deal directly with the driver in these easy-to-use interfaces.
