This sample program sets the HP34401A to make a self-test and get a subset of its configuration.

 

Date: April 2005

Version: 1.0

Language: Agilent VEE Pro 7.5 (or later)

Instruments: Digital Multimeter

OS Requirements: Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or XP

Additional Software: Agilent IO Libraries 14.0 (or later)

 

This program sets up the digital multimeter to make a self-test, then to get a subset of the initial instrument configuration. Then you can modify this configuration by changing the instrument measurement mode (see "InstrModeList" list object) and the range (see "CurrentRangeList" or "VoltageRangeList" list objects). You will then get the final range value of the selected mode.

Note that the data is then sent to Excel using the "Create New Workbook..." UserObject of the Excel menu.

 

If you have installed VEE, you can open the sample program by double-clicking on it or by using VEE's File > Open or File > Open Example menu items. To utilize VEE's Instrument Manager's "Load Sample" capabilities with the sample program, copy the sample program and the .xml file (with the same name as the VEE sample program) into the following directory:
