Programming Guide for DS1000E, DS1000D Series 3-1
Chapter 3 Programming Examples
This chapter lists some programming examples about how to realize the basic
functions of the oscilloscope in the development environments of Visual C++ 6.0,
Visual Basic 6.0 or LabView 8.6. Users can programme the oscilloscope based on the
USB driver provided by RIGOL or VISA library. For VISA programming, your computer
must have been installed the NI-VISA which can be downloaded from
http://www.ni.com . In the example, we assume NI-VISA is installed under
C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\VISA.
Prepare for Programming
In this text, we use USB data cable to achieve the communication between DS1000E,
DS1000D and PC. See the figure below.

After successful connection, turn on the instrument, a dialog will guide you to install
the driver of “Rigol USB Test and Measurement Device” on the PC. For VISA
programming, the driver should be “USB Test and Measurement Device”.
At present, you have finished the preparations. Next, we will give you some
programming examples in Visual C++ 6.0 and Visual Basic 6.0 or LabView 8.6.
