Problems finding VisaComLib documentation

Hello,

 

I have an old Excel VBA macro that uses the VisaComLib to read data from an oscilloscope and stores it in a spreadsheet. Since now I have a new oscilloscope I need to adapt the old macro code to work with the new oscilloscope.

 

I have looked into the help files provided by NI-VISA, but I couldn't find any reference to VisaComLib, the Internet has not helped either. I would like to know where I can find any reference documents about the VISA COM library.

 

Thanks.

Why do you need to adapt the old macro?

Both oscilloscopes use different operational commands.

Then just change the commands that are being sent. There is no need to re-invent the wheel.

Hate to say to but NI have never supported VISA-COM. Install Keysight Io Libraries they have documentation on this.
