Comprehensive Program Example
This section presents two example programs for making measurements using the test set. The first program
follows the task flow presented at the beginning of the programming note (see
Performed by Control Program" on page
second program, "Example Program Without Comments" on page
comments have been removed and the coding reflects the use of compound commands and complex commands
to achieve coding efficiency.
