int sig; // Declares a device descriptor variable
sig = ibdev(0, 19, 0, 13, 1, 0); // Aquires a device descriptor
ibclr(sig); // Sends device clear message to signal generator
ibwrt(sig, "*RST", 4); // Places the signal generator into a defined state
// Print data to the output window

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.
