CalEasy File Descriptions

The Setup program installs the CalEasy software files. The following is a brief description of each installed file:

CalEasy Files

Instrument Standards DLLs Files

Each instrument standards DLL used by CalEasy such as PS, DMM, MATRIX, etc. is stored in a subfolder of the CalEasy\Standards folder. Each instrument that corresponds to a standard has its own sub folder. For example, Keithley 200x Digital Multimeter is stored in the “CalEasy\Standards\DMM\Keithley 200x” folder; this folder has the associated DLL driver CalDmmKi200x.dll and optionally the DLL sources (usually written in ATEasy). The generic interface DLL and header file resides in the DMM folder CalDmm.h and CalDmm.dll. Each standards driver requires the installation of the manufacturer’s driver and needs to be configured such that it will recognize the instrument. For GPIB/VXI instruments you may also need to set up the ATEasy GPIB/VXI interface driver to match with the current GPIB/VXI interface board you have (see ATEasy Getting Started manual). The following sections describe the standards files installed and the additional software required to use these standards instruments.

The following list details each supported instrument driver with its name, manufacturer, form factor (GPIB, 3U PXI, etc.), supported model and primary specifications:
