VISA: 34970A Thermocouple Measurement Read Me

34970A VISA and VB60 Measurement Example Program

This program sets the 34970A for 2 simple scans that make 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. Also include the visa32.bas file in the project.
