Overview
This chapter contains two application programs over the
remote interface to help you develop programs for your own
application.
Chapter 3, “Remote Interface Reference” lists the
syntax for the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments) commands available to program the power
supply.
All program examples have been tested on a PC with
Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups. Both examples are
for use with GPIB (IEEE 488). These examples require a
VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) driver with
your GPIB PC card. You should have the “visa.dll” in your
windows/system directory for the GPIB examples to work.
All program examples perform the same task. They step
through voltages and make corresponding current readings
to characterize a power diode.
