USB instrument control

[LED47]

You will have to excuse me but I really new at this,

With this example uses GPIB

I want to do the same thing with a USB interface instrument:

How would the below program change?

Public RM As VisaComLib.ResourceManager 'Resource manager
Public PS As VisaComLib.FormattedIO488 'IO Object

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Set RM = New VisaComLib.ResourceManager 'Resource Manager Object created
Set PS = New VisaComLib.FormattedIO488 'FormattedIO488 Object created
Set PS.IO = RM.Open("GPIB0::12::INSTR") 'IO Object created (enter VISA address of ENA)

PS.IO.Timeout = 10000 'Timeout time in msec

PS.WriteString ("*IDN?")
Sheet1.Cells(6, 2) = PS.ReadString

PS.IO.Close
Set PS = Nothing
Set RM = Nothing

End Sub

Highly recommended "really new" goes and learns LabVIEW.  The "below program" isn't necessarily LabVIEW.  Recommend asking in CVI.  But also recommend "really new" go learn CVI. 

It's important to know how to ask the question and understand the answer.

In theory if you are using VISA then the only change needed is "GPIB0::12::INSTR" would be replaced with the USB ID, something like "USB0::0x0B21::0x0025::39314B433337343138::INSTR".

That's the magic of VISA.
