VISA and GPIB Application Development Using Visual Studio 6.0 or Below Hardware: GPIB
Problem: I'm trying to develop a VISA or GPIB application using one of the a Visual Studio languages. How can I go about doing this? Solution: The drivers for GPIB and VISA ship with a *.bas file that contains the prototypes for all of the functions to make it easy to call the dll. Simply add the .bas file to the Visual Studio project and then all of the functions of the driver are available for use. To learn more about the functions just double-click on the .bas file in the project. The actual implementation of function calls and how to use them is still the same.The default locations for the files are as follows: VISA - C:\VXIPNP\WinNT\include\visa32.basGPIB - C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-488.2\Languages\Visual Basic\Vbib-32.basNote: Some functions are not available for use in Visual Basic due to the language differences. You can find these in the driver's help file by looking at the Visual Basic Syntax section for a given function.
