Agilent Technologies Enhances VEE Test and Measurement Software for Simplified Programming and Greater Ease of Use

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) has introduced the enhanced version of Agilent VEE, an interactive graphical programming application for test and measurement. Enhancements include greater compatibility with the latest Agilent instruments, faster data analysis and a more versatile user experience.

Agilent VEE 9.3 provides new sample programs with simple VEE programming for Agilent instruments, including the Agilent 33500 Series function/arbitrary waveform generator, 34411A digital multimeter and InfiniiVision 2000X/3000X/5000/6000/7000 series DSO or MSO oscilloscopes. VEE 9.3 supports the industry's latest operating systems, including Windows(r) 7.

VEE 9.3 offers an intuitive interface for data analysis with the General and USB Modular DAQ vTools. General vTools supports simple trending data analysis, statistical filters and data scaling, charting and graphing. It also contains components such as averaging and marker lookup, features that help engineers, educators and researchers complete measurement tasks and analysis quickly. The USB Modular DAQ vTools offers easier USB modular data acquisition hardware connectivity, configuration and acquisition in VEE development functionality. This vTools is compatible with files generated from Agilent Measurement Manager software.

Both vTools are new supplementary toolboxes that complement VEE 9.3 and can be downloaded at no additional cost to the software. Current Agilent VEE 9.2 users can upgrade their VEE software to VEE 9.3 for free by visiting www.agilent.com/find/vee_download.

"Agilent is committed to helping our customers test and measure more efficiently," said Ee Huei Sin, vice president, Agilent's Basic Instruments Division. "The release of VEE 9.3 continues to fulfill our goal of simplifying those tasks."
