Perform the following steps to run the State_Files program.
1. Copy the State_Files.cs file from the CD–ROM programming examples section to the directory
where the .NET Framework is installed.
2. Change the TCPIP0 address in the program from TCPIP0::000.000.000.000 to your signal
generator’s address.
3. Save the file using the .cs file name extension.
4. Run the Command Prompt program. Start > Run > "cmd.exe". Change the directory for the
command prompt to the location where the .NET Framework was installed.
5. Type csc.exe State_Files.cs at the command prompt and then press the Enter key on the keyboard
to run the program. The following figure shows the command prompt interface.
The State_Files.cs program is listed below. You can copy this program from the examples directory on
the signal generator’s CD–ROM.
NOTE The State_Files.cs example uses the ESG in the programming code but can be used with the
PSG or Agilent MXG.
