C/C++ Example Program

/* Example for programming the N8241A IVI-C driver.

This will compile and link into a working.EXE file.

For Compile: Add include path = C:\Program

Files\IVI\include,

C:\vxipnp\winnt\include

For Link: Add libpath = C:\Program Files\IVI\Lib\msc,

Add lib = AGN6030A.lib

Opening a session with predistortion enabled (default)

creates a discrepancy for the waveform in ch2 since

predistortion is applied twice; once when it was

downloaded to ch1 and again when it is downloaded to ch2.

You can eliminate this problem by turning off the

predistortion before downloading the waveform to ch2. An

alternative is to clone the waveform to another file

name. For example, clone Wfm_ch1 to Wfm_ch2.

#include <math.h>

#include <windows.h>

#include <winbase.h>

#include <AGN6030A.h>

// #include "stdafx.h" // if you use Microsoft

// Visual Studio you might use this

#define WFM_LENGTH 800 //should be integer divisible by

"TCPIP0::A-N8241-90XXX::inst0::INSTR"; // Set

// this to match your hardware
