Using IVI with Visual C++

• • • • • •

The Environment

Microsoft Visual C++ is a software development environment for the C++ programming language and is available as part of Microsoft Visual Studio. Visual C++ allows you to create, debug, and execute conventional applications as well as applications that target the .NET Framework.

Example Requirements

Visual C++

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

IVI-COM: Agilent 34401A IVI-COM, Version 1.1.0.11, March 2006 (from Agilent Technologies); or

IVI-C: Agilent 34401A IVI-C, Version 4.1, October 2006 (from National Instruments)

Agilent IO Libraries Suite 14.2

Download and Install the Driver

If you have not already installed the driver, go to the vendor Web site and follow the instructions to download and install it.

Since Visual C++ supports both IVI-COM and IVI-C drivers, this example is written two ways, first to show how to use an IVI-COM driver in Visual C++, and second to show how to use an IVI-C driver in Visual C++.

Note: If you do not install the appropriate instrument driver, the project will not build because the referenced files are not included in the program. If you need to download and install a driver, you do not need to exit Visual Studio. Install the driver and continue with your program.
