Hello,
I am new to this forum, but I have done some instrument automation in the past over GPIB.
I am a big fan of using Excel VBA "Alt+F11"
I currently have a working set-up, but I am confused about latest VISA versions. Last time I did this it was VISA 1.0 or VISA 3.0, I think latest now is VISA 5.5.
I also can't find documentation to the latest version of VISA, I found a document describing NI-VISA, which dates back to 2001 and it describes viFunctions().
While latest examples seem to use VisaComLib that I am unfamiliar with, although just using ReadString and WriteString I can effectively automate 90% of my needs.
Could someone point me to the latest documentation for VisualBasic/VBA that describes VISA COM 5.5 programming interface?
Set ioMgr = New VisaComLib.ResourceManager
Set instrument = New VisaComLib.FormattedIO488
' use instrument specific address for Open() parameter – i.e. GPIB0::22
Set instrument.IO = ioMgr.Open("GPIB0::24")
