Hey everyone!
I'm lost as where to start controlling an instrument we have in the lab.
I'll give you my setup:
It is a VNA, agilent/keysight E5062A.
Controller is a desktop server running RHEL 5.
I have a GPIB Cable.
Program needs to be written into C so that it can be incorporated into the test program we are using.
I have the programmers manual but it doesn't tell me much on how to start. It does tell me how to set the instrument(E5062A) gpib address.
I've also gathered that i will need some sort of I/O library, VISA or SCPI?
Thank you for taking the time to read this!
programmers manual link, take a look at chapter two
