52 Agilent E1412A Multimeter Application Information
This section contains example programs that demonstrate several applications
using the E1412A Multimeter. The examples described in this section list only
the SCPI commands (see Chapter 3, "Multimeter Command Reference")
required to perform the application. The programming language is not
included in print but C and Visual Basic programs are included on the
VXIplug&play driver media under the subdirectory "examples".
Application example programs provided with the E1412A Multimeter are
written using VTL 3.0 (VISA Transition Language). VISA (Virtual
Instrument Software Architecture) is an I/O library that can be used to create
instrument drivers and I/O applications. Application programs written with
VTL function calls can use VXIplug&play drivers (or SCPI commands) in
systems that have the VTL I/O layer. VTL allows you to use software from
different vendors together on the same platform. VTL can be used for I/O
application development on Microsoft
VXI, GPIB-VXI, and GPIB interfaces. VISA 1.0 provides more VISA
functionality and is fully operational on Windows
Example programs are provided on the VXIplug&play media. These
programs have been compiled and tested using Microsoft Visual C++
Version 1.51 for the C programs and Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0.
