Appendix 2. Programming Examples

Example 2. Checking the Instrument Ready State 

Normally,  the  user  control  program  starts  when  the  analyzer  executable  module  is 
running, the instrument booting is completed, and the instrument is ready for use. In 
some  cases,  it  is  recommended  to  check  if  the  instrument  is  ready  for  use.  The 
instrument  may  be  not  ready  for  use  if  it  is  not  connected  to  PC  via  USB  cable. 
Moreover,  if  the  analyzer  executable  module  has  not  been  started  in  advance,  the 

CreateObject 

function will automatically start the application and then within about 10 

seconds the instrument booting will be in progress. The instrument will not be ready 
for  use  until  the  booting  is  completed.  The 

Ready 

property  is  used  to  check  if  the 

instrument is ready for use. 

The following program checks the 

Ready 

property right after a COM object has been 

created.  If  the  analyzer  executable  module  has  been  started  in  advance  and  the 
booting is completed, 

“Analyzer is ready” 

will be displayed. If the 

Ready 

property value 

is 

False, 

10 second delay is activated for the case the analyzer executable module has 

been  started  by  the  COM  object  creation.  In  10  seconds  the  program  rechecks  the 

Ready 

property. If the value is 

True, “Analyzer is ready” 

will be displayed, if otherwise, 

“Analyzer is not ready” 

will be displayed, what means the instrument is not turned on or 

it is not connected to PC via USB cable. 

 

Dim app As Object 

Sub Example2() 

Set app = CreateObject("TRVNA.Application") 

If app.Ready = False Then 

   Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:10")) 

   If app.Ready = False Then 

      MsgBox ("Analyzer is not ready") 

      Exit Sub 

   End If 

End If 

MsgBox ("Analyzer is ready") 

End Sub
