- <h4>2. Required Software</h4>
- <para>Some software components need to be installed before using this
- instrument driver. The minimum versions of these components are listed
- below, and can be downloaded from the Download Site.
- <br>
- <br>
- VISA 3.0 or later
- <br>
- <br>
- <br>
- For more details, refer to the <i>LabVIEW Help</i> under <i>Help
- » VI, Function, & How-To Help</i>.</para>
- <h4>3. Known Issues</h4>
- <para>
- A delay has been included in Create Arbitrary Waveform in order to prevent Query Interrupted (-410) instrument error from
- occurring. The error occurs when error query is called from Create Arbitrary Waveform when a small transfer
- (8-16 points) is sent over ther serial interface.
- <br>
- <br>
- A delay occurs on the instrument after writing multiple arbitrary waveforms to a 33220A. The instrument has a limited amount of flash memory, and
- eventually must clean up the memory, this is when the delay occurs.
