You can control the E5061A/E5062A by programming using SICL with the C language in
the UNIX environment, or Visual C++ or Visual Basic in the Windows environment.

of Microsoft Excel described in “Controlling Using SICL-LAN Server” on page 176.
Control using Agilent VEE
Agilent VEE allows you to control the E5061A/E5062A via the I/O interface. The
following example shows how to control the E5061A/E5062A that is set as follows: the
address of the SICL-LAN server is 17 and the IP address is 1.10.100.50.
NOTE When using Agilent VEE for PC, use Agilent VEE Pro 6 for Windows or later.
Step 1. On the Agilent EVE’s
