Description
The Application object is the highest object in the VNA object model. This object presents methods and properties that affect the entire analyzer, rather than a specific channel or measurement. For example, the application object provides the GetIDString method. There's only one ID string for the instrument, unrelated to the channel or parameter being measured. Likewise, the TriggerSignal Property is global to the instrument. You can elect to use an internally generated (free run) trigger or a manual trigger. Either way, that type of trigger generation will be used on all measurements, on all channels. Therefore, it is under the Application object.
This object is unique in that you must create this object rather than just get a handle to it.
Dim app As AgilentPNA835x.Application
Set app = CreateObject("AgilentPNA835x.Application", <analyzerName>)
Replace <analyzerName> with the full computer name of your VNA. For example, "My VNA". See Change Computer Name.
