Need help on SNMP over VEE

I need to remotely control an instrument using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). I have the mib files for the SNMP but I'd like to know how to use this protocol over VEE. Does anybody have an example or have used this before?

Thanks in advance.

Just because nobody has replied to this, I'm going to attempt to answer your question.

I probably should know how to do this, but I've never had the need to do so. Nonetheless, I would try the I/O > "To/From Socket" > Port: 161 (or 162). From there, I would have no clue how to get/put your MIB object as a Transaction.

Please let me know if you or anyone else figures this out, because now I'm just curious.

Thank you for the reply. The problem is exactly how to insert a MIB object as a transaction. Here is the answer I got from Agilent:
“We have no experience in using SNMP with VEE. Built-in features for VEE doesn't have any other protocol besides SNMP. The alternative way VEE can access SNMP is through the open source #SNMP library for .NET http://sharpsnmplib.codeplex.com/

If you did not have Visual Studio .NET, please download the binaries (for a compiled .NET SNMP DLL assemblies and the source files for the test examples in all test??? folders in the downloaded zip file..

Once the #SNMP library is downloaded, VEE could import the .NET assemblies and create the .NET objects and use them in the manner as the test examples like creating a listener and sending responses.

We do not have an active SNMP instrument here to completely develop a sample using VEE, hence we hope you could test it out with VEE.”

Unfortunatelly I will not be able to test it as I chose a equipment based on TCP/IP because I wouldn't have time to implement this.

I haven't developed anything in VEE for TCP/IP, so I don't really think I can help. It sounds like you could import the .NET assemblies and it should work. This may work, but you're program would have to be as complicated as mine (which has been in progress for several months now).

A quick workaround if you just want to shoot out an SNMP MIB object would be:
1. Make a batch file or perl file (pick your poison)
2. Use VEE's execute program to fire off that program.
