use Lab::Instrument::HP3458A; my $dmm=new Lab::Instrument::HP3458A({ GPIB_board => 0, GPIB_address => 11, }); print $dmm->read_voltage_dc();
The Lab::Instrument::HP3458A class implements an interface to the Agilent / HP 3458A digital multimeter. The Agilent 3458A Multimeter, recognized the world over as the standard in high performance DMMs, provides both speed and accuracy in the R&D lab, on the production test floor, and in the calibration lab.
my $hp=new(\%options);
$datum=$hp->read_voltage_dc();
Make a dc voltage measurement.
$hp->display_on();
Turn the front-panel display on.
$hp->display_off();
Turn the front-panel display off.
$hp->display_text($text); print $hp->display_text();
Display a message on the front panel. The multimeter will display up to 12 characters in a message; any additional characters are truncated.
$hp->display_clear();
Clear the message displayed on the front panel.
$hp->beep();
Issue a single beep immediately.
($err_num,$err_msg)=$hp->get_error();

$hp->set_nlcp($number);
Sets the integration time in power line cycles.
$hp->reset();
Reset the multimeter to its power-on configuration.
$hp->preset($config);
Choose one of several configuration presets (0: fast, 1: norm, 2: DIG).
$hp->selftest();
Starts the internal self-test routine.
$hp->autocalibration();
Starts the internal autocalibration. Warning... this procedure takes 11 minutes!
