//************************************************************************************

//PROGRAM NAME:FlatCal.cpp

//PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:C++ Console application to input frequency and amplitude

//pairs and then download them to the signal generator.

//

//NOTE: You must have the Agilent IO Libraries installed to run this program.

//This example uses the LAN/TCPIP interface to download frequency and amplitude

//correction pairs to the signal generator. The program asks the operator to enter

//the number of pairs and allocates a pointer array listPairs[] sized to the number

//of pairs.The array is filled with frequency nextFreq[] and amplitude nextPower[]

//values entered from the keyboard.

//

//************************************************************************************

//IMPORTANT: Replace the 000.000.000.000 IP address in the instOpenString declaration

//in the code below with the IP address of your signal generator. //************************************************************************************

#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include "visa.h" #include <string.h>

//IMPORTANT:

//Configure the following IP address correctly before compiling and running

char* instOpenString ="TCPIP0::000.000.000.000::INSTR";//your PSG's IP address

const int MAX_STRING_LENGTH=20;//length of frequency and power strings const int BUFFER_SIZE=256;//length of SCPI command string

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

ViSession defaultRM, vi;

ViStatus status = 0;

status = viOpenDefaultRM(&defaultRM);//open the default resource manager

//TO DO: Error handling here

status = viOpen(defaultRM, instOpenString, VI_NULL, VI_NULL, &vi);
