VXI-11 Programming Using SICL and C++
The following program uses the VXI- 11 protocol and SICL to control the signal generator. Before
running this code, you must set up the interface using the Agilent IO Libraries IO Config utility.
vxisicl.cpp
performs the following functions:
• sets signal generator to 1 GHz CW frequency
• queries signal generator for an ID string
• error checking
The following program example is available on the signal generator Documentation CD- ROM as
vxisicl.cpp
.

// PROGRAM NAME:vxisicl.cpp
//
// PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:Sample test program using SICL and the VXI-11 protocol
//
// NOTE: You must have the Agilent IO Libraries installed to run this program.
//
// This example uses the VXI-11 protocol to set the signal generator for a 1 gHz CW // frequency. The
signal generator is queried for operation complete and then queried
// for its ID string. The frequency and ID string are then printed to the display.
//
// IMPORTANT: Enter in your signal generators hostname in the instrumentName declaration
// where the "xxxxx" appears.
