Example: Reset, Self Test, Module Id, And Close Channel - Agilent Technologies E8462A User Manual

Example: Reset,
Self Test, Module
ID, and Close
Channel
The following example reads the module ID string, performs module
self-test, displays the results, closes channel 0002 and queries the channel
closure state. The result is returned to the computer and displayed
("1" = channel closed, "0" = channel open).

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
/* Module Logical address is 112, secondary address is 14*/
#define INSTR_ADDR "GPIB0::9::14::INSTR"
int main()

/* Open the default resource manager */
errStatus = viOpenDefaultRM ( &viRM);
if(VI_SUCCESS > errStatus){

/* Open the Module instrument session */
errStatus = viOpen(viRM,INSTR_ADDR, VI_NULL,VI_NULL,&E8462A);
if(VI_SUCCESS > errStatus){
