is using keysight visa stable?

Hi,
I don't know how well Keysight VISA works, sorry. I've only tried NI-VISA with JVisa.

If you want to try it, I think the only think you need to do is change "nivisa64.dll" to "agvisa32.dll" in JVisaResourceManager.java. It looks like that's a 32-bit DLL, and I don't know if that will work either.

All VISA implementations are supposed to work with all instruments which support VISA. So, you could use NI-VISA with your Keysight instrument. However, I don't know what happens if you have multiple VISA implementations installed at the same time.

I have tried it with visa64.dll (keysight's visa dll) and it worked, I just wanted to know if it will be stable.

I don't know. My guess is that if it works at all, it will be very stable.

FYI I've updated JVisa to load a library called "visa32" or "visa64", without any ni or ag prefix. So you should be able to use Keysight's Visa DLL without any modification to the code.

Here's the updated file if you want to look:
