34980A VISA and VCNET 2005 Measurement Example Program

This program sets the 34980A 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 34980A and 
the computer, and the correct module is installed. The returned data is entered 
into a list box.

The program requires a 34921A MUX module to operate correctly. Program must be modified
for other modules.

The program requires that the VISA drivers are installed in the computer. VISA
comes with the Agilent I/O Library. Also add the visa32.lib file as a resource and
include the visa.h file in the project.

The program was developed in Microsoft® Visual C++ .NET 2005 as a WIN32 project.
