5 Application Programs
168 E364xA User’s and Service Guide
Overview
The application program examples in this chapter help you to develop programs
for your own application. Chapter 3, "Remote Interface Reference" lists the syntax
for the SCPI commands available to program the power supply.
The examples in this chapter have been tested on a PC running Windows 3.1,
Windows 95, or Windows NT 4.0. The examples are written for use over the GPIB
(IEEE-488) or RS-232 interface. However, the examples for use over the RS-232
interface do not work with Windows 3.1.
These examples require a Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA) driver
for use with your GPIB interface card in your PC. You should have the visa.dll for
Windows 3.1 or visa32.dll for Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 in your
c:\windows\system directory for the examples in this chapter to run
properly. The examples step through voltages and make corresponding current
readings to characterize a power diode.
