Types of Examples
This section includes examples of how to program the instrument using
the instrument SCPI programming commands. The most of the
examples are written for a PC, using GPIB. They are written in the C
programming language and use the HP/Agilent VISA transition library.
The VISA transition library must be installed and the GPIB card
configured.
These examples are available on the Agilent Technologies E4406A
documentation CD-ROM. They are also available at the URL
http://www.agilent.com/find/vsa
The section "C Programming Examples using VTL" on page
includes some basic information about using the C programming
language. That information can be used with the examples in this
chapter to create your own measurement routines.
Examples are also available showing you how to program the
instrument using the VXIplug&play instrument driver that is provided.
The examples are included in the on-line documentation in the driver
itself. The driver allows you to use several different programming
languages including: VEE, LabView, C, C++, and BASIC. The software
driver can be found at the URL http://www.agilent.com/find/vsa.
The programming examples include:
• "Using Markers" on page 127
