Simple code in VB6 to control Chroma AC power supplier throigh GPIB

[Benson715]

Hi there,

I am a totally newbie in VB6 (just have a little background in C).

Anyways, I want to write a simple code in VB6 to send commands out through GPIB to control a chroma AC power supplier. Can anyone show me how?

thanks.

Make sure that you install VB6 support for VISA. Then, you can find VISA VB6 examples from Start>>All Programs>>National Instruments>>VISA>>Examples. However, you must study Chroma user manual to find its GPIB command.

Hi Kate,

This is so embarrassing but can you show me where and how to install VB6 support for VISA.

Somehow I have a visa32.bas file. Is that good enough to get my application up and ruinning?

Thanks

Make sure to select Example option while installing. Your install dialog may differ due to version different.
