GPIB DEVELOPMENT

GPIB DEVELOPMENT-This free eight-page application note, entitled "Using ComponentWorks GPIB ActiveX Controls to Speed Development with Visual Basic and Visual C/C++," describes how engineers and scientists can accelerate GPIB development with Visual Basic and Visual C/C++. The note details how common GPIB startup tasks, such as determining an instrument address and establishing instrument communication, are easily accomplished with the ComponentWorks GPIB ActiveX controls. Engineers can use the information in the note to speed the development of GPIB instrument applications, and also benefit from tips for specifying a parsing scheme and reusing instrument specific commands.
