Example Program for Excel 97
This section contains the example program written using Excel Macros ( Visual
Basic
®
for Applications ) to control your power supply. With Excel you can take the
value of a cell in a spread sheet, send it to the power supply, and then record the
response on the worksheet. The example on the following pages characterizes a
component across the terminals of the power supply. This example reads 11 voltages
from a worksheet, programs the power supply to that voltage, and then reads the
current. The value of current is recorded next to the voltage on the spread sheet.
Example The following table shows the result of the example program starting on page 145 for
characterizing a diode. (Agilent Part number: 1901-1214, Manufacturer Part number:
