Programming
an Oscilloscope
Initialization
To make
sure the bus and all
appropriate interfaces are
in
a
known
state,
begin every program with an initialization statement.
For
example:
CLEAR 707 ! initializes
the interface of the instrument.
Then
initialize the instrument to
a
preset state. For
example:
OUTPUT
707;"*RST" !
initializes the instrument to
a preset state.
Note
The actual commands and syntax
for initializing
the instrument
are discussed in the chapter
"Common Commands."
Refer to your controller manual and programming language
reference
manual for
information on initializing
the interface.
