Ieee-488; Handler; Results To Floppy - QuadTech 1865 Instruction Manual

2.6.3.4 IEEE-488

Setup
Allows user setup of IEEE-488 interface operation. Selections include:
Address:
Mode:
State:
The instrument will function as either a Talk or a Talk/Listen device in a system
depending on the choice made by the operator under Mode. Talk is generally suited to a
simple system with no controller or other talkers, for example a printer. Talk/Listen
denotes full programmability and is suited for use in a system that has a controller or
computer to manage data flow. The "handshake" routine assures that the active talker
proceeds slowly enough for the slowest listener.

2.6.3.5 Handler

Allows user to turn Handler Interface function ON or OFF. When off is selected, input
and output lines on the rear panel I/O interface connector are ignored

2.6.3.6 Results to Floppy

Allows user to store measurement results on floppy disk (if optional drive is present).
When selected, if a results file is not open, the user is prompted for the filename (up to 8
characters) and the file is opened.
To close a results file that is currently open, select Results to Floppy and press [ENTER]
to close. Display indicates "Closing the Results File".
If a results file is open when a setup is saved, when the setup is later recalled the user will
be prompted for a results file name.
