BASIC Example Program
Sample programs in this section are written in BASIC 6.0 and have been
tested on a UNIX workstation.
Requirements:
•
GPIB interface selected and set to the address of 09 from the front-
panel;
•
Any one of the relay modules installed in Slot 1 of the mainframe;
•
A GPIB interface card installed in your UNIX workstation.
Either GPIB or RS-232 interface can be used in SCPI mode. However, we
only provide and test the BASIC program examples over the GPIB
interface.
