Chapter 6 Application Programs

Example Programs for C and C++

The following C programming examples show you how to send and

receive formatted I/O. For more information on non-formatted I/O, refer

to the Agilent VISA User’s Guide. The examples in this section show you

how to use the SCPI commands for the instrument with the VISA

functionality and does not include error trapping. Error trapping,

however, is good programming practice and is recommended for your

application. For more information on error trapping, refer to the Agilent

VISA User’s Guide.

The example programs are written in Microsoft Visual C++ Version

1.52 using project type “QuickWin application”, and using the large

memory model. Be sure to have access in the project to visa.lib or

visa32.lib usually found in the c:\vxipnp or c:\visa directory.
