Entry Description
Name The name the instrument will be called in the program.
Choose a name that follows these syntax guidelines:
• Instrument names must start with an alphabetic
character, followed by alphanumeric characters or
underscore characters.
• You cannot use embedded blanks in instrument names.
Interface Type of interface. Choose from GPIB, Serial, GPIO, USB,
LAN, or VXI.
Address The logical unit of the interface (GPIB is usually 7) plus the
local bus address of the instrument (a number from 0 to 31).
If you leave the address at 0, it means that you are
developing without an instrument present.
Gateway Specifies whether instruments are controlled locally or
remotely. Use the default entry This host to control
instruments locally, or enter a
Gateway for remote
control. (For more information, refer to the VEE Pro
Advanced Techniques manual.)
