VISA: Apply Command and How to Create a Burst as an Output Read Me

This sample program sets up a burst waveform with a 270 degree starting phase, and by adding an offset voltage to the burst, a haversine is created.

Date: Sep 2003

Version: 1.0

Language: Microsoft® Visual Basic 6

Instruments: Function Generators

OS Requirements: Microsoft Windows® 98 SE, NT® 4.0, ME, 2000, or XP

Additional Software: Agilent IO Libraries M.01.01.04 (or later)

In this sample program a sine wave is used to create a haversine output. It also demonstrates how to read the instrument errors and display them in a text box. This program sets up a burst waveform with a 270 degree starting phase. By adding an offset voltage to the burst, a haversine is created. This program also shows the use of a trigger received over the GPIB interface to initiate a single trigger.
