Notes
- To use IVI-COM instrument drivers, a VISA Library that supports VISA COM. We recommend using one of the VISA Libraries supporting VISA COM shown below. (Mind that multiple versions of VISA cannot be installed at a time.)
- NI-VISA 4.6 or later
- Agilent IO Libraries Suite 15.5 or later
- KI-VISA 4.2.4 or later
- When using 32bit OS, the x86 edition of the instrument driver can only be installed.
- When using 64bit OS, both x64x86 editions of the instrument driver must be installed independently as your need.

[KikusuiKfm IVI-COM Instrument Driver] README Last Update 01/APR/2010 -------------------------------------------------- The KikusuiKfm is the IVI-COM instrument driver that complies with the IVI specifications. The driver can be used with most of ADEs (application development environment) such as Microsoft Developer studio, Microsoft Office VBA, National Instruments LabVIEW, etc. as long as the ADE supports Microsoft COM (Component Object Model) technologies. Supported Instruments --------------------- Kikusui KFM2030 Fuel Cell Impedance Meter Kikusui KFM2005 Fuel Cell Impedance Meter System Requirement --------------------- This instrument driver requires the following operating environment. Windows 2000 (x86, SP4) Windows XP (x86, SP2 or later) Windows Vista (x86/x64) Windows 7 (x86/x64) Internet Explorer: Internet Explorer 7.0 or later is required. Windows Scripting Host: When the instrument driver is installed, it registers itself to the system registry. Some portion of this operation requires that your PC is able to operate scripting files (.VBS) file. IVI Shared Components: Version 2.0 or later VISA Shared Components: any version Kikusui IVI Configuration Utility: This utility enables you to configure the logical names, virtual names, and other default behaviours about the driver. If your application is aware of interchangeability operations, it is highly recommended to install the configuration utility. Otherwise it is an option. VISA: VISA Library that complies with VISA specification 4.0 or later with VISA COM software. Actually NI-VISA 4.0 or later, Agilent IO Libraries Suite 15 or later, or KI-VISA 4.2.4 or later is recommended. GPIB: If you connect your instruments through the GPIB interface, you must prepare the GPIB board and its driver, which are supported by the VISA library that you use. RS232: If you connect your instruments through the RS232 interface, you do not have to install any additional software.
