Creating A Project With Ivi-Com Using C-Sharp; Step 1 - Create A Console Application - Keysight M9383A Programming Manual

Creating a Project with IVI-COM Using C-Sharp

This tutorial will walk through the various steps required to create a console
application using Visual Studio and C#. It demonstrates how to instantiate two
driver instances, set the resource names and various initialization values, initialize
the two driver instances, print various driver properties to a console for each driver
instance, check drivers for errors and report the errors if any occur, and close both
drivers.
Step 1. - Create a "Console Application"
Step 2. - Add References
Step 3. - Add using Statements
Step 4. - Create an Instance
Step 5. - Initialize the Instance
Step 6. - Write the Program Steps (Create a Signal or Perform a Measurement)
Step 7. - Close the Instance
Step 8. - Build and Run the Program
At the end of this tutorial is a complete example program that shows what the
console application looks like if you follow all of these steps.
