Once you have installed the appropriate software components, see
“Remote Interface Configuration” in chapter 3
f or information on
configuring your interface.
All of the sample application programs in this chapter are example
programs intended for use with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 and Agilent
VISA-COM.
To use the IO object in Visual Basic:
1. Set the reference to include the libraries in the Project/References
menu. VISA COM requires a COM reference to the VISA COM 3.0
Type library. Establish a reference in the menu:
Project > References ...
2. Use a statement such as “
Dim Fgen As VisaComLib.FormattedIO488
”
to create the formatted IO reference, and use
“
Set Fgen = New VisaComLib.FormattedIO488
” to create the actual
object.
