Interface Check for GPIB Using VISA and C
This program uses VISA library functions and the C language to communicate
with the signal generator. The program verifies that the GPIB connections and
interface are functional. Launch Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, add the required
files, and enter the following code into your .cpp source file. visaex1.cpp
performs the following functions:
— verifies the GPIB connections and interface are functional
— switches the signal generator into remote operation mode
The following program example is available on the signal generator
Documentation CD-ROM as visaex1.cpp.
