Before Using the Examples
If the Agilent GPIB interface card is used, then the Agilent VISA library should be installed along with
Agilent SICL. If the National Instruments PCI-GPIB interface card is used, the NI-VISA library along with
the NI-488.2 library should be installed. Refer to “2. Selecting IO Libraries for GPIB” on page 6 and the
documentation for your GPIB interface card for details.
NOTE Agilent BASIC addresses the signal generator at 719. The GPIB card is addressed at 7 and
the signal generator at 19. The GPIB address designator for other libraries is typically
GPIB0 or GPIB1.
