40 VXI Programming Using the IEEE 1394 Serial Bus Chapter 3
Block Transfers using
HP VISA
This program performs a block transfer of 60,000 readings using the
HP E1563A digitizer and the HP VISA function viMoveIn32.
// 1563visa.CPP - This program configures the HP E1563A digitizer using its
// VXIplug&play driver and then transfers a block of 60,000 readings from
// the digitizer’s FIFO memory to the computer using the VISA viMoveIn32
// function.
#include "hpe1563.h"// include the driver header file
#include "visa.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>
// project files: 1563visa.cpp, hpe1563.lib, VISA.lib
// specify the addressing path
