Programming notes:
●
Outputting text using the print function
Using the print method, this example displays the value of the variable
MyVar
in the "Immediate" window of the Visual Basic development environment.
Note that the print method only applies to objects that can display text.

●
Accessing the functions of the
VISA32.DLL
To enable users to create Visual Basic control applications, the
VISA32.BAS
file must be added to a project so that functions of the
VISA32.DLL
can be
called. In addition, the
VPPTYPE.BAS
file must be added to the project. This
file contains constants and definitions for error handling, timeout values, etc.
The modules
visa32.bas
and
vpptype.bas
can be found under
<VXIpnpPath>\WinNT\include
(typically
C:\VXIpnp\WinNt\include
).
As an alternative, a reference to the
VISA32.DLL
can be added to the proj-
ect.
