Agilent N518xA, E8663B, E44x8C, and E82x7D Signal Generators Programming Guide 61
Programming Examples
Using the Programming Interface Examples
You can start a new Standard EXE project and add the required references. Once the required
references are included, you can copy the example programs into your project and add a command
button to Form1 that will call the program.
The example Visual Basic 6.0 programs are available on the signal generator Documentation CD-ROM,
enabling you to cut and paste the examples into your project.
Visual Basic Examples
The Visual Basic examples enable the use of waveform files and are located in Chapter 5.

Running Java Examples
The Java program “Sockets LAN Programming Using Java” on page 128, connects to the signal
generator via sockets LAN. This program requires Java version 1.1 or later be installed on your PC.
For more information on sockets LAN programming with Java, refer to “Sockets LAN Programming
Using Java” on page 128.
Running MATLAB Examples
For information regarding programming examples and files required to create and play waveform
files, refer to Chapter 5.
NOTE To communicate with the signal generator over the LAN interface you must enable the
VXI-11 SCPI service. For more information, refer to “Configuring the VXI-11 for LAN
(Agilent MXG)” on page 29 and “Configuring the VXI-11 for LAN (ESG/PSG/E8663B)” on
page 30.
Running Perl Examples
The Perl example “Sockets LAN Programming Using PERL” on page 130, uses PERL script to control
the signal generator over the sockets LAN interface.
