Writing Code for USB, LAN and GPIB Using an Alias with Visual Basic

http://www.keysight.com/find/34410A An instrument alias can be used in your program and updated without modifying your program. An alias makes it easier to change the address of your instrument or even the interface used to connect your instrument. In this example we use a 34410A digital multimeter which has a built-in LAN, USB and GPIB interface. A Visual Basic program is created with an Alias and the Alias is updated so we can use different interfaces.
