These example programs are written in the Visual C/C++ language for the

Agilent 82340/82341 GPIB Interface Cards using the Agilent Standard

Instrument Control Library (SICL).

The following identifies the system on which the programs are written,

shows how to compile the programs, and gives a typical example program.

Note The programs must be compiled in the Large Memory Model

How to Run a Program To run a program, first compile and link the program to make an executable

file using the Large memory model. You can compile from the command

line or the Windows interface. The two methods are:

From the Command Line

Make sure the program to be compiled and the appropriate libraries are in a

project file. Do this in the C/C++ environment. Then do the following:
