Interface IResourceManager

Description

This is the base interface for finding, enumerating, and creating VISA COM I/O resources.

Methods

FindRsrc

This method uses VISA search strings to find VISA resources. For example, GPIB?* will find all GPIB resources the Resource Manager knows about; ASRL?* will find all serial resources. GPIB0::?* will find all resources on GPIB0.

Open

This is the method for creating a VISA COM I/O resource.

ParseRsrc

This operation parses a resource string to verify its validity. It should succeed for all strings returned by FindRsrc and recognized by Open. This operation is useful if you want to know what interface a given resource descriptor would use without actually opening a session to it.
