Documentation Examples

This guide provides detailed examples that show you how to communicate with all supported interface types. These examples are collected in the example index, which is available through the Help browser.

The examples use specific peripheral instruments, GPIB controllers, string commands, address information, and so on. If your instrument accepts different string commands, or if your hardware is configured to use different address information, you should modify the examples accordingly.

You do not need an instrument connected to your computer to use tutorials as they use prerecorded data.
