C Programming Examples using VTL
viPrintf
viScanf These are the VTL formatted I/O functions that are
patterned after those used in the C programming
language. The viPrintf call sends the IEEE 488.2
*RST command to the instrument and puts it in a
known state. The viPrintf call is used again to query
for the device identification (*IDN?). The viScanf call
is then used to read the results.
viClose This function must be used to close each session. When
you close a device session, all data structures that had
been allocated for the session will be de-allocated.
When you close the default manager session, all
sessions opened using the default manager session will
be closed.
Linking to VTL Libraries
Your application must link to one of the VTL import libraries:
32-bit Version:
C:\VXIPNP\WIN95\LIB\MSC\VISA32.LIB for Microsoft compilers
C:\VXIPNP\WIN95\LIB\BC\VISA32.LIB for Borland compilers
16-bit Version:
C:\VXIPNP\WIN\LIB\MSC\VISA.LIB for Microsoft compilers
C:\VXIPNP\WIN\LIB\BC\VISA.LIB for Borland compilers
See the following section, “Compiling and Linking a VTL Program” for
information on how to use the VTL run-time libraries.
