VISA COM: 53131/32/81 Measurement Read Me

53131A, 53132A, 53181A VISA Com and VBNET Measurement Example Program

This program shows three different ways to make measurements for the 53131A, 53132A, 
and 53181A Counters. It uses the 'MEASure?', 'CONFigure and 'READ?', and 
'CONFigure', 'INITiate', and 'FETCh' commands. The returned measurements are output 
in a list box. 


This program uses the Agilent VISACom COM objects to program the instrument. To use 
the IO object in another Visual Basic project, set the reference to add the 
appropriate libraries in the Project/References menu and Com tab:
"VISA COM 1.0 Type Library", corresponds to VISACOM.tlb
"Agilent VISA COM Resource Manager 1.0", corresponds to AgtRM.DLL
"VISA COM 488.2 Formatted I/O 1.0", corresponds to the BasicFormattedIO.dll
