Autoloading and Running a Program Automatically (AUTOST)
The analyzer allows you to create a special program le called AUTOST. This program is
automatically loaded and run every time the analyzer is turned ON.
When you use this capability, the disk on which you saved AUTOST must be inserted in the
disk drive before the analyzer is turned ON.
The system rst checks to see if there is an AUTOREC le on the disk. If there is, the system
reads the AUTOREC le to set up the analyzer, and then loads and runs the AUTOST program.
(For more information on AUTOREC, see \Auto Recall Function" in Appendix C of the
Function Reference.)
On Key Label Function
The Instrument BASIC allows you to de ne softkeys from within a program. The softkey labels
you de ne will appear when pressing the
displayed while running the program.
The statement is used to de ne the softkeys. For example:
The statement is used to display the softkey labels de ned. The following set of statements
is the same as the key strokes
For more information on the ON KEY statement, see the
of the
Instrument BASIC Users Handbook.
