Program Languages
The program language shown in this manual is BASIC. This language was
selected since it easily shows how to program the AFG.
However, the same programs (except where noted) are also supplied in
Visual C/C++ and Visual BASIC using the Agilent Standard Instrument
Control Library (SICL). The programs using SICL are Windows® programs.
All programs are supplied on the CD that came with this manual (see next
section).
Example Program CD To determine the location of the different programs and the required
libraries, read the “README” files. The different directories are:
• VBPROG for Visual BASIC programs
• VCPROG for Visual C/C++ programs
