4. VISA
VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture), developed by NI (National
Instrument), provides an advanced programming interface to communicate with
various instruments through their bus lines. VISA enables you to communicate
with the instrument in the same way, without considering the interface type of
the instrument (such as GPIB, USB, LAN/Ethernet, or RS232). The instruments
that communicate with the PC via GPIB, USB, LAN/Ethernet, or RS232 are called
"Resources".
VISA indicates the resource name, which describes the name and location of the
resource. For example, when you use the LAN interface to communicate with
the instrument, the VISA descriptor is displayed as
"TCPIP::172.16.3.100::INSTR".
