Example Programs for the Agilent N6700 Modular Power System

The self-executing file contains example programs for the Agilent N6700 Modular Power System. To install all of the example programs on your hard disk, click 'Install' and follow the instructions in the dialog box. The installation directory defaults to C:\Program Files\Agilent\N6700\N67xx Examples but you can specify the directory in which to install the example programs. For the VISA COM examples, you must have the Agilent IO Libraries revision M or later with VISA COM installed.

There are four example programs included:

EZ sample: This is a simple program that sets the voltage, current, and protection functions of the power system. It also measures the output voltage.
Sequence: This program executes a sequenced power-on. The first output turns on first. After a specified amount of time, the second output turns on. Two or more outputs are required to run this program.
List: This program sets up and executes a simple list. Voltage, current, and dwell time are all specified. This program will only work with N676xA Power Modules and with N675xA Power Modules that have Option 054 High Speed Test Extensions.
Digitizer: This program sets up the measurement system to read back an array of measurements. This program will only work with N676xA Power Modules and with N675xA Power Modules that have Option 054 High Speed Test Extensions.

The example programs are written in the following programming languages:

C++ with VISA
Microsoft® Visual C++ 6.0 with VISA
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 with VISA, VISA-COM, and NI 488.2
Microsoft Excel with VISA, VISA-COM, and NI 488.2 (only the List programs are provided)
Agilent VEE Pro with direct I/O

The example programs are protected by copyright. You have a royalty-free right to use, modify, reproduce and distribute the example programs (and/or any modified version) in any way you find useful, provided that you agree that Agilent has no warranty, obligations, or liability for any example programs.

Agilent Technologies provides programming examples for illustration only. All example programs assume that you are familiar with the programming language being demonstrated and the tools used to create and debug procedures. Agilent support engineers can help explain the functionality of Agilent software components and associated commands, but they will not modify these example programs to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific needs.
