Hi,
We have just got and installed a N2861A communications module for our DSO3152A scope.
I am writing some applications for this in C# and just have a couple of questions that I am hoping you guys can answer.
I have used the Agilent Interactive IO utility which obviously accesses the scope easily thru the RS-232 port.
I want to be able to communicate in the same way using C# in my application. I am not trying to do anything complicated, just establish as session, isssure a few commands and queries and store the data.
Do I have to use Visa in order to access the port or can I access it as any normal RS-232 port ? I cannot accesss it using Procomm PLus etc.
I would prefer not to have to go and learn all about Visa if possible as I am short on time, as everyone usually is.
Does anyone have any sample coding for access to RS-232 in C# ?
Any help or advice you can give would be much appreciated.
Thanks, George.

port you use the standard file commands to control the DSO3152, fopen(),fclose(),fwrite() and fread().
