VXI-11 Programming Using SICL and C++

The following program uses the VXI- 11 protocol and SICL to control the signal generator. Before

running this code, you must set up the interface using the Agilent IO Libraries IO Config utility.

vxisicl.cpp performs the following functions:

• sets signal generator to 1 GHz CW frequency

• queries signal generator for an ID string

•error checking

The following program example is available on the signal generator Documentation CD- ROM as

vxisicl.cpp.

//****************************************************************************************

// PROGRAM NAME:vxisicl.cpp

// PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:Sample test program using SICL and the VXI-11 protocol

// NOTE: You must have the Agilent IO Libraries installed to run this program.

// This example uses the VXI-11 protocol to set the signal generator for a 1 gHz CW // frequency. The

signal generator is queried for operation complete and then queried

// for its ID string. The frequency and ID string are then printed to the display.

// IMPORTANT: Enter in your signal generators hostname in the instrumentName declaration

// where the "xxxxx" appears.

//****************************************************************************************

#include "stdafx.h"

#include <sicl.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

INST id; // Device session id

int opcResponse; // Variable for response flag

char instrumentName[] = "xxxxx"; // Put your instrument's hostname here

char instNameBuf[256];// Variable to hold instrument name

char buf[256];// Variable for id string

ionerror(I_ERROR_EXIT);// Register SICL error handler
