Agilent | Direct I/O: Set Up Frequency Sweep With SRQ On Completion & Save to Excel Read Me

This sample program configures a frequency sweep and generates an SRQ interrupt on completion.

Date: April 2005

Version: 1.0

Language: Agilent VEE Pro 7.5 (or later)

Instruments: Signal Geneartor

OS Requirements: Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or XP

Additional Software: Agilent IO Libraries Suite 14.0 (or later)

This sample program configures the signal generator to execute a frequency sweep. On completion of the frequency sweep an SRQ interrupt is generated. This allows easy re-synchronization between the software routine and the instrument. The use of SRQs avoids having to poll the instrument to determine when it has completed the requested action. On completion of the sweep the stimulus parameters and sweep performance data are stored to an Excel file. This sample program is supported by the ESG-B series of signal generators including the E4430B, E4431B, E4432B, E4433B, E4434B, E4435B, E4436B, E4437B.

If you have installed VEE, you can open the sample program by double-clicking on it or by using VEE's File > Open or File > Open Example menu items. To utilize VEE's Instrument Manager's "Load Sample" capabilities with the sample program, copy the sample program and the .xml file (with the same name as the VEE sample program) into the following directory:
