Using backslashes
In programming languages such as C, C++ or programs such as MATLAB or NI Inter-
active Control, a backslash starts an escape sequence (e.g. "\n" is used to start a new
line). In these programming languages and programs, two backslashes instead of one
must be used in remote commands, e.g. in "Storing Instrument Settings" on page 136
instead of MMEM:STOR:STAT 1,'C:\USER\DATA\TEST1'
use MMEM:STOR:STAT 1,'C:\\USER\\DATA\\TEST1'

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.
Debug.Print MyVar
●
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 project.
