Queries for GPIB Using VISA and C
This example uses VISA library functions to query different instrument states and conditions. Launch
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, add the required files, and enter the following code into your .cpp source
file. visaex3.cpp performs the following functions:
• verifies the GPIB connections and interface are functional
