Agilent Technologies E1437A, User Manual, Page: 28 / 214

To Use the Example Programs
Several example programs are included to perform useful tasks for you and
to serve as a basis for your own programs. When you installed your E1437A
Windows or HP-UX libraries and drivers using the setup program or utility,
you also installed executable and source code files for several useful
example programs. The programs demonstrate programming the module
with“C”, Microsoft Visual Basic, and HP-VEE.
The executables for these examples require E1437A and, for Windows,
VXIplug&play support; in other words they will not run in simulation mode
like the E1437 Soft Front Panel program.
Icons for the executables appear in the E1437 Windows program group if
you chose to add it during setup:
In Windows environments executable files and source code for the Microsoft
Visual Basic examples are installed in the
drive :\vxipnp\win[95|NT]\hpe1437\vb40 directory. The VEE examples are in
the ...\hpe1437\vee directory, and “C” examples are in the ...\hpe1437\msc
directory.
In the HP-UX environment executable files and source code for the
C-language examples are installed in /opt/vxipnp/hpux/hpe1437/demo.
The group of programs described here may be supplemented with additional
programs later which will be described in the online help or readme file.
acvolts.exe, acvolts_32.exe, acvolts
This is about the simplest practical complete program using the E1437 and
functions like an AC voltmeter. It is written in Visual Basic and can be run
on Win 3.1 (acvolts.exe), Win95 or WinNT (acvolts_32.exe). It is also
available in C for HP-UX (acvolts).
