Quick Control Interfaces

Communicate with IVI-C based instruments using Quick Control oscilloscope, function generator, RF signal generator, and RF spectrum analyzer

The Quick Control interfaces are used to control oscilloscopes, function generators, RF signal generators, and RF spectrum analyzers that use an underlying IVI-C driver. You do not have to deal directly with the driver in these easy-to-use interfaces.
