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.

ParseRsrcEx

This function parses a resource string to get extended interface information. 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 VISA address (resource descriptor) would use without actually opening a session to it.
