virtual const std::string& Manufacturer() const;

const std::string& Manufacturer(ViSession Vi);

Parameters

Vi: [in] ViSession handle for the driver session.

Return Value

Returns the instrument manufacturer associated with the device with which the driver is communicating.

Remarks

The value returned here is set by the implementation of the GetIdentificationInfo function. By default, Nimbus implements the GetIdentificationInfo by sending a *IDN? query to the instrument and parsing an IEEE 488.2 response. This function returns an empty string when simulating.
