Agilent E1439 Programmer's Reference

Introduction

Introduction

The programmer’s reference is presented as a set of VXIplug&play functions since this is the primary targeted environment. However, when you performed the setup for the Agilent E1439, drivers were installed to support various programming environments as described in “Programming the Agilent E1439” in chapter 3.

The function descriptions in the programmer’s reference are valid for all environments. Be sure to follow the instructions in “Getting Started and Introduction” in chapter 2 to assure proper installation and to become familiar with the capabilities of your Agilent E1439 software in various programming environments. You should find the example programs particularly helpful for programming in various environments.

Many of the function descriptions in the programming reference include several related functions. You may use the primary function to set all related parameters or you may use the other functions within the group to set or query a single parameter.

Parameter variables are presented as alphanumeric values which are descriptive and easy to remember. However, for faster programming you may use the numeric equivalents for the parameter variables listed at the end of this section.
