Programming Fundamentals

C Programming Using VTL

viPrintf

viScanf These are the VTL formatted I/O functions that are patterned after those used in the C programming language. The viPrintf call sends the IEEE 488.2 *RST command to the instrument and puts it in a known state. The viPrintf call is used again to query for the device identification (*IDN?). The viScanf call is then used to read the results.

viClose This function must be used to close each session. When you close a device session, all data structures that had been allocated for the session will be de-allocated.

When you close the default manager session, all sessions opened using the default manager session will be closed.

Linking to VTL Libraries

Your application must link to one of the VTL import libraries:

32-bit Version:

C:\VXIPNP\WIN95\LIB\MSC\VISA32.LIB for Microsoft compilers

C:\VXIPNP\WIN95\LIB\BC\VISA32.LIB for Borland compilers

16-bit Version:

C:\VXIPNP\WIN\LIB\MSC\VISA.LIB for Microsoft compilers

C:\VXIPNP\WIN\LIB\BC\VISA.LIB for Borland compilers

See the following section, “Compiling and Linking a VTL Program” for information on how to use the VTL run-time libraries.

32-bit Applications

The following is a summary of important compiler-specific considerations for several C/C++ compiler products when developing WIN32 applications.

For Microsoft Visual C++ version 2.0 compilers:
