Referencing the IO Library
No matter which instrument programming library you use (SICL, VISA, or
VISA COM), you must reference the library from your program.
In C/C++, you must tell the compiler where to find the include and library files
(see the Agilent IO Libraries Suite documentation for more information).

(VBA, which comes with Microsoft Office products like Excel):
1 Choose Tools>References... from the main menu.
2 In the References dialog, check the “VISA COM 3.0 Type Library”.
3 Click OK.
To reference the Agilent VISA COM library in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0:
