Programming your instruments (optional)

This section provides an introduction to programming GPIB

Keysight VISA and SICL IO Libraries. You can program in
various languages and applications, including Visual Basic,
Visual C++, and Keysight VEE.
See the applicable user's guide, such as the Visual Basic
user's guide, for programming guidelines. You can also find
additional programming examples using various IO Libraries
