Simple C++ program to take resistance measurements

[Rich123uk]

Does anyone know where there is a example program that I can use to take a number of 4 terminal resistance measurements? I am using a keithley 2001 multimeter and a NI-488.2 GPIB.

I have found an example which I can modify here:

But being a progamming novice (and knowing absolotly sod all about basic) I could not make it compile. Every thing seemed to cause an error.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

The link provided seems to point to a .BAS file. Those are typically used in VB and not in C++. There should be some examples of GPIB operations in VC++ in the NI-488 directory. Look there for some communication examples. To write and read to the instrument, simply look for the commands necessary in the user manual, or take a look at the drivers at www.ni.com/idnet for the syntax of your device. We have two drivers already made, one for LabVIEW and one for CVI. These may give you some assistance.

Hope this helps out!
