Figure 2-1. Conguration Example of the Instrument BASIC System
The Instrument BASIC's programming interface includes an editor and a set of programming
utilities. The utilities allow you to perform disk I/O, renumber, secure, or delete all or part of
your program.
The Instrument BASIC command set is similar to the command set of HP 9000 Series 200/300
BASIC. Therefore, Instrument BASIC programs can be run on any BASIC workstation with
few if any changes. Porting information can be found in the
Instrument BASIC Programming
of the
Techniques
Instrument BASIC Users Handbook.
Connecting the Keyboard
Turn OFF the analyzer before inserting or removing the keyboard connector.
Note
When you use Instrument BASIC, connect the furnished keyboard to the mini-DIN connector
on the rear panel.
