34970A/72A VISA and C++ Console Measurement Example Program

This program sets the 34970A/72A 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/72A and the computer, and the correct module is installed.

If a 34972A is the instrument, logging to USB memory is enabled. The readings will always go into internal memory,but will also be logged to the USB "stick" memory if it is plugged in.

The measurement values are output on the computer console.

*****NOTE: You must modify the program address in the C++ file and re-compile with your address for this program to work.

This program requires a 34901A module in slot 1
