Hi, go to Help menu > Open Examples, then browse to \InstrumentIO\InstrManagerIntegrated, probably Hp34401a_Excel.vee can help you get started. Replace the Excel with I/O > To > File if you wish to save in text form.

The multimeter I am using is Agilent 34405A and i am connecting it via USB. My instrument manager recognises the multimeter and the interface is already set as USB. but when i try to run that example, i get this error:

configuration error: GPIB interface, at 7, is not configured for this system
error number: 801

Any idea what am i doing wrong?

Thanx

First of all, go to Agilent Connection Expert and copy the instrument VISA Address. Go to VEE Instrument Manager, at DMM, right click. Change the interface to USB, and update the VISA address at the bottom with the value copied.

Hope this helps.
