Programming Examples
GPIB Programming Interface Examples
• turns signal generator RF state off
• verifies RF state off
The following program example is available on the signal generator Documentation CD- ROM as
visaex4.cpp
.
//****************************************************************************************
// PROGRAM FILE NAME: visaex4.cpp
//
// PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This example demonstrates query commands. The signal generator
// frequency and power level.
// The RF state of the signal generator is turn on and then the state is queried. The
// response will indicate that the RF state is on. The RF state is then turned off and
// queried. The response should indicate that the RF state is off. The query results are
// printed to the to the display window.
