This section contains information about how to program the instruments using the GxSmu driver. The GxSmu driver contains functions to initialize, reset, and control the instruments. A brief description of the functions, as well as how and when to use them, is included in this section. Functions Reference section contains a complete and detailed description of the available programming functions.
The GxSmu driver supports many development tools. Using these tools with the driver is described in this chapter. In addition, the GxSmu directory contains examples written for these development tools. Refer to Installation and Connections section for a list of the available examples.
An example using the DLL driver with Microsoft Visual C++ is included at the end of this chapter. Since the driver's functions and parameters are identical for all operating systems and development tools, the example can serve as an outline guide for other programming languages, programming tools, and other GxSmu driver types.
