USB I/O

[walt]

Greetings:

I am running MINT 18.3 on an AMD 64 bit processor.  I want to control 
and read data from my Siglent Spectrun Analyzer with my computer through 
its USB port.  How do I accomplish this with the C program language?  I 
have googled for an answer but haven't found an answer that I 
understand.  Is there a 'usb-open' function that will allow use of the 
traditional character and string functions?

Thanks for any suggestions.
