34970A/34972A using visa32.vb and VBNET Measurement Example Program
This program sets the 34970A/34972A 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.
Additonally, if the instrument is a 34972A, logging to a USB memory stick is enabled. With logging enabled, readings will be saved to internal memory and to USB memory if USB memory is present. If USB memory stick is not present, then only internal memory will be filled with the readings.
The program requires that VISA is installed in your computer. VISA comes with the Agilent I/O Library.
Include the visa32.vb file. This file comes with VISA version M.01.01.041 or above. This file is different from the visa32.bas since the visa32.vb was developed for VB.NET (the visa32.bas file is for VB version 6 and below).
The program was developed in Microsoft® Visual Basic .NET version 7.0
