##1. はじめに
ArduinoとオシロスコープをExcelで制御して測定する(2) シャッタースピードの自動測定ではVISAライブラリを利用してArduinoと測定器を制御していますが、測定器は使用せずArduinoを制御するだけならVISAライブラリは必須ではありません。

3. 測定器やマイコンを制御するExcelマクロを以下のように変更することでVISAライブラリを使用せずにRS-232C通信ができます。

ControlDSO()およびControlDSOの呼出し元をコメントアウトないし削除する
C7セルにVISA AddressではなくCOMポート名(例：COM6)を記述する
ControlTB()を以下のプログラムで置き換える
