GPIB Programming Examples
Visual C++ 6.0, add the required files, and enter the following code into your .cpp source file.
The following program example is available on the PSG Documentation CD-ROM as visaex8.cpp.
//****************************************************************************************
// PROGRAM FILE NAME:visaex8.cpp
//
// PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:In this example, instrument settings are saved in the signal
// generator's registers and then recalled.
// Instrument settings can be recalled from the keyboard or, when the signal generator
// is put into Local control, from the front panel.
// This program will initialize the signal generator for an instrument state, store the
// state to register #1. An *RST command will reset the signal generator and a *RCL
// command will return it to the stored state. Following this remote operation the user
// will be instructed to place the signal generator in Local mode.
//

// Open session to gpib device at address 19
