Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 project.
If you are using the VISA library do the following:
• add the visa32.lib file to the Resource Files
• add the visa.h file to the Header Files
If you are using the NI-488.2 library do the following:
• add the GPIB-32.OBJ file to the Resource Files
• add the windows.h file to the Header Files
• add the Deci-32.h file to the Header Files
Refer to the National Instrument website for information on the NI-488.2 library and file
