In the context of a VISA test panel, it is important to understand its primary functions and limitations. The VISA test panel is designed to allow users to interact with and communicate with instruments connected via VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture).

Sending commands to an instrument is a core functionality of the test panel, making it a useful tool for testing and verifying functionality with the device. Users can issue commands and receive responses, enabling them to diagnose issues or confirm expected outputs.

Specifying a termination character is also supported within the test panel, as it is often necessary to indicate the end of a message when communicating with instruments, particularly for those that require specific formats for communication.

Similarly, viewing an instrument's attributes, such as its configuration or capabilities, can be performed through the test panel. This is essential for understanding how to interact with a particular instrument correctly.

In contrast, modifying a VISA resource is not a feature of the VISA test panel. This is due to the nature of VISA communication, where the resources and their configurations are usually managed through a programming environment or instrument driver rather than the test panel itself. The test panel is primarily focused on sending and receiving data rather than altering the core attributes or settings of the resource. Hence, the ability to modify a VISA
