40 ! This program demonstrates the order of commands suggested for operation of
50 ! the Agilent 86100 analyzer via GPIB. This program initializes the scope, acquires
60 ! data, performs automatic measurements, and transfers and stores the data on the
70 ! PC as time/voltage pairs in a comma-separated file format useful for spreadsheet
80 ! applications. It assumes an interface card at interface select code 7, an
90 ! Agilent 86100 scope at address 7, and the Agilent 86100 cal signal connected to Channel 1.
