Controlling Your Instrument with SICL LAN and Agilent BASIC
for Windows
Before you can use Agilent BASIC for Windows with SICL LAN, you
need to set up VISA/SICL LAN I/O drivers for use with your BASIC
applications. Consult your BASIC documentation for information how
to do this.
To set up SICL LAN for BASIC, add the following statement to your
AUTOST program (all on a single line):
LOAD BIN "GPIBS;DEV lan[analyzer IP address]:GPIB name TIME 30 ISC 7"
Replace analyzer IP address with the IP address of your instrument,
GPIP name with the GPIB name given to your instrument, and 7 with
the logical unit number.
For example, the following LOAD statement should be added to your
AUTOST program for the parameters listed below:
instrument IP address 191.108.344.225
instrument GPIB name inst0
