Supported Instruments
---------------------
PXT20K-500, PXT20K-1000, PXT20K-1500
 
Installation
-------------
  System Requirements: The driver installation will check for the
  following requirements.  If not found, the installer will either
  abort, warn, or install the required component as appropriate.

  Supported Operating Systems:
    Windows 10

  Shared Components
    Before this driver can be installed, your computer must already
    have the IVI Shared Components installed.

    IVI Shared Components version 3.0.2828 or later.

    The IVI Shared Components installer is available from: 
    http://www.ivifoundation.org/Downloads/SharedComponents.htm


  VISA-COM
    Any compliant implementation is acceptable. Typically, VISA-COM is
    installed with VISA and other I/O library modules. 


Additional Setup
----------------
  .NET Framework
    The .NET Framework itself is not required by this driver. If you
    plan to use the driver with .NET, the minimal .NET framework version is 2.0.

  The .NET Framework requires an interop assembly for a COM
  server. A Primary Interop Assembly, along with an XML file for
  IntelliSense is installed with the driver. The driver's PIA, along
  with IVI PIAs are installed, by default, in:
  <drive>:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\IVI\Bin\Primary Interop Assemblies

  The PIA is also installed into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) if
  you have the .NET framework installed.

Help File

  The help file (KikusuiPxt.chm) is located in the directory:

 Driver Source Code
-------------------------------
  The driver source code is located in the directory:
   <ProgramFiles>\IVI Foundation\IVI\Drivers\kipxt\Source

  Building the source code requires Visual Studio 2017 or greater.
  - To build the driver source code from Visual Studio:
        1. Open the KikusuiPxtDriver.vcxproj file in Visual Studio
        2. Execute the Build command.
        3. Save the solution file (.sln) when closing the project, if desired.
  - To build the driver source code from the command line:
        1. Open a Visual Studio command prompt
        2. Navigate to the source folder
        3. Type "msbuild KikusuiPxtDriver.vcxproj"

  NOTE: After building the source code, a number of intermediate build files are naturally emitted as part of the build process.
        Since these build files were not deployed by the driver installer, they will NOT be removed if the driver is uninstalled,
        and the Source folder will remain after uninstallation.  This folder can be safely removed manually, if desired.
