Version: 1.0.0.0

This program shows two different ways to make risetime and falltime measurements for the 53131A and 53132A Counters. One way triggers the counter at the 5% and 85% value of the input signal (default values are 10% and 90%). The other way uses the 0.5V low and 4.5V high voltage values of the signal (default values are 0V and 5V). With the risetime and falltime functions, the counter automatically makes the channels 1 and 2 a common input configuration. The returned measurements are output into a list box.
This program uses the Agilent VISA COM objects to program the instrument.
To use the IO object in another C# project, set the reference to
add the appropriate library in the Project/References menu:
VISA COM 3.0 Type Library
The program was developed in Microsoft C# (C Sharp) .NET 2003.
