Keysight 33210A - Introduction

Application Programs
This chapter contains several remote interface example programs to
help you develop programs for your own application. Chapter 4,
“Remote Interface Reference” starting on page 145, lists the syntax for
the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments)
commands available to program the function generator.
Introduction
Six example programs are included in this chapter to demonstrate
controlling the
Keysight 33210A using SCPI commands. All of these
programs are written in Microsoft
®
Visual BASIC
®
6.0 and use
Keysight VISA-COM.
The BASIC programs in this chapter, and other example programs
illustrating the use of several drivers and environments, are included on
the “
Keysight 33210A Product Reference CD-ROM” shipped with the
function generator. For a detailed description of these programs, refer to
the “readme” file in the “Examples” directory. The programs in this
chapter are found in the “Examples\chapter6” subdirectory.
If you want to modify the example programs, or write your own programs
and compile them, you will need to install the
Keysight IO Libraries
Suite software. You can install this software from the “
Keysight E2094
Automation-Ready CD-ROM” that is also provided with the 33210A.
You may have previously installed the IO Libraries Suite software that
was provided with other
Keysight products (such as a Keysight GPIB
card). However, you must have
Keysight IO Libraries Suite 14.0 or a
later version to support the examples that are provided on the Product
Reference CD-ROM.
