To Create Your Project Template

This section explains how to create a project template by using Microsoft Visual

Basic. Before starting programming, create your project template, and keep it as

your reference. It will remove the conventional task in the future programming.

Step 1. Connect instrument to computer via GPIB.

Step 2. Launch Visual Basic and create a new project.

Step 3. Import the following file to the project.

• agb1500.bas (e.g. \Program Files\VISA\winnt\include\agb1500.bas)

• visa32.bas (e.g. \Program Files\VISA\winnt\include\visa32.bas)

Step 4. Open a form (e.g. Form1) in the project.

Step 5. Enter a program code as template. See Table 3-1 for example. The program code is

written in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0.

Step 6. Save the project as your template (e.g. \test\my_temp).
