Application Programs
This chapter contains several remote interface example programs to
help you develop programs for your own application. The Agilent 33500
Series Programmer’s Reference Help lists the syntax for the SCPI
(Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) commands
available to program the waveform generator.
Introduction
Nine example programs are included in this chapter to demonstrate
controlling the Agilent 33500 Series using SCPI commands. All of these
programs are written in Microsoft
®
C and Microsoft
®
Visual BASIC
®
6.0
and use Agilent VISA-COM.
The programs are included on the “Agilent 33500 Series Product
Reference CD-ROM” shipped with the waveform generator. These files
are located under the “Programming Examples” link on the CD.
If you want to modify the example programs, or write your own programs
and compile them, you will need to install the Agilent IO Libraries Suite
software. You can install this software from the “Agilent E2094
Automation-Ready CD-ROM” that is also provided with the 33500
Series.
You may have previously installed the IO Libraries Suite software that
was provided with other Agilent products (such as an Agilent GPIB card).
However, you must have Agilent IO Libraries Suite 14.0 or a later version
to support the examples that are provided on the Product Reference CD-
ROM.
