Overview of HP Instrument BASIC
HP Instrument BASIC (IBASIC) can be used for a wide range of
applications, from simple recording and playback of measurement
sequences to remote control of other instruments. IBASIC is a complete
language with over 200 keywords.
IBASIC is a complete system controller residing inside your analyzer. It
communicates with the analyzer via GPIB commands over an internal
interface bus (select code 8). It can also communicate with other
instruments, computers, and peripherals using the external GPIB
interface (select code 7) or the serial (select code 9) or parallel (select code
15) I/O ports.
The analyzer can also be controlled by an external controller. It has a
NOTE
factory default external GPIB address of 16. When using IBASIC to
control other instruments, no other device should use the same
address.The external GPIB address can be changed using either the
front panel keys under the
,
GPIB
menu, or the
SYSTEM OPTIONS
SCPI mnemonic SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR.
