34970A/72A VISA and C# Measurement Example Program

This program sets the 34970A/72A for a simple scan that makes both DCV and type J thermocouple temperature measurements. The program also checks the instrument and module identification to make sure there is communication between the 34970A and the computer, and the correct module is installed. The returned data is entered into a list box.

If a 34972A is detected, this program will enable logging to the USB memory. If USB memory is present, data will be logged both to internal memory and the USB memory.

The program requires that VISA is installed in your computer. VISA comes with the Agilent I/O Library.

Include the visa32.cs file. This file comes with VISA version M.01.01.041 or above.

The program was developed in Microsoft® C# (C Sharp) .NET
