Hello surjitsinh, if I understand you correctly, you want to use the YokogawaGS200 instrument library, provided within Lab::Measurement in your C/C++ code. This is not possible (or maybe it is, but it's for sure not a good idea). However, generally it is quite easy to communicate with a device, supporting GPIB and other connectors, using the VISA libraries by National Instruments (https://www.ni.com/visa/). Maybe this document by Agilent can help you start with it: http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/E2090-90040.pdf Of course you can study our YokogawaGS200 library and build something similar in C or at least you can find the device commands in the code, if you do not want to look it up in the manual.

Best, Christian

Hello,

Thank you for your support, I am trying to use tmctl.lib in linux (Qt) but it shows error that some commands works with windows API, can you provide linux library for your device. Thank you

Best regards, Surjit
