Execute (X) - Keithley 595 Instruction Manual

4.9.2 Execute (X)
Purpose
Directs the Model 595 to execute device-dependent comman ds received since previous
'X
Format X
Description
The execute co muand is implemented by sending an ASCII 'Y' over the bus. UsuaUy,
the execute character is the last byte in the command siring (a number of corrunands
may be grouped together into one string); however, there may be certain cir-
cumstances where it is desirable to send a command string at one time, and then
send the execute character later on. Command strings sent without the execute
character will be stored within an internal command buffer for later execution. When
the X character is finally transmitted, the stored commands w3.l be executed, assuming
that all commands in the previous string were valid. If multiple Xs are in one string,
the sequence will be forced in that order (i.e., CZXClXto store and normalize).
Example
Enter the following statements into the HP-85 keyboard:
REMOTE 72%
When the END LINE key is pressed the second time, the instrument is put in the
current function. The next statement puts the instrument in the capacitance func-
tion. Note that the instrument remains in the listener active state after the commands
are transmitted.
