IEEE-488 PROGRAMMING
The Translator mode has now been disabled, a fact that
can be verified by attempting to use one of the previously
defined Translator words as in the following example:
Note that the instrument no longer responds to Translator
words; however, this mode can be re-enabled and verified
with the following statements:
4.10.3 Combining Translator Words
Existing Translator words can be combined by using the
NEW command, resulting in a Translator word that con-
tains the commands of the original words. For example,
existing words SETUP1 and SETUP2 could be combined
in a new word called SETUP3. When SETUP3 is sent over
the bus, the commands of both SETUP1 and SETUP2 will
then be executed.
The basic format for combining Translator words is shown
in the following example
where: ALIAS defines the Translator word.
SETUP3 is the new word to be defined.
SETUP1 and SETUP2 are existing words to be
combined.
NEW is a reserved word that tells the instrument
that SETUP1 and SETUP2 are Translator words
and not device-dependent commands.
; is the terminator that marks the end of the ALIAS
sequence.
(s!;;e). A space must be included between each
Note that the instrument will still recognize any original
words even if combined. In this example, SETUP1 and
SETUP2 will still be valid after SETUP3 is defined.
HP-85 Programming Example-Use the following state-
ments to define two Translator words and then combine
them in a third, called SETLJl'3:
The second and third statements define the first two
Translator words, while the fourth statement combines the
commands associated with those two words into a nw
word called SETUI'3.
When the abo\,e statement ,~bovc ii crccutcd, the intru-
ment will assume modes defined by the SETUP.? ~wrd.
In this example, the instrument will assume the TRMS
function (F2) and autorange (KO) modes.
4.10.4 Reading Back Translator Words (LIST)
Programmed Translator words can be obtained from the
instrument by the controller with the LISl. commdnd.
After LIST is received by the instrument, the \~ords con
be obtained in the same manner used to ;ICCCSS norn~al
instrument data. The various words will bc delimited b\
spaces, and the most recently programmed \wrd will be
transmitted first.
