Example: Making
Measurements
(C/HP-UX)
88 Register-Based Programming
This C/HP-UX programming example closes bit 1 on bank 0, waits for a
measurement to be made, and then opens the channel. You must insert
your own programming code for the measurement part of this program. For
example, if you are using the E1411B, see the E1326B/E1411B Multimeter
User's Manual for programming examples.
The sub ver_time allows time for switch closures. This sub should print a
time around 10 ms. If the time is less, you must change the value of j in
the for loop. For example, instead of 10000, you might need to use 12000.
