Several example programs are provided for the Keysight 34980A Multifunction Switch/Measure Unit and Modules. To install all of the example programs on your hard disk, click 'Install' and follow the instructions in the dialog box. The installation directory defaults to C:\Program Files\Keysight\34980, but you can specify the directory in which to install the example programs. For the VISA COM examples, you must have the Keysight I/O Libraries revision M or later with VISA COM installed.

Example programs are not yet available for the 34945A module but L4445A example programs can be modified to work with the 34945A. The 34980A address and slot number must be modified in order for the example programs to work properly for the 34945A. Example Programs for the Keysight L4400 Series LXI compliant Instruments
