ALPHA]
OUTA
Comments
OUTA
(OUTput
Alpha
register)
causes
the contents
of the Alpha
register to be
output to the selected device. In the example shown
above, the Alpha register is
loaded with the command
string: F2R3Z1N4.
When OUTA is executed (3468A is selected), the multimeter will be set to the ac
volts function (F2), 30 volt range (R3), autozero on (Z1), and 4 1/2 digit display
mode (N4).
Normally,
the OUTA
command
is terminated
with a Carriage
Return
(CR), Line
Feed (LF). The 3468A,
however, ignores these characters.

Comments
The IND (INput Decimal}
command
retrieves an ASClIl-coded
numeric value from
the "SELECTED"
device and places it into the X-register of the calculator. When
this command
is executed
and
the 3468A
is the selected
device,
the 3468A
becomes
a talker and outputs one measurement
value of 13 bytes in the form:
+/-d.dddddE+/-d
CR LF
where "d" represents a single digit, CR is Carriage Return, and LF is Line Feed. If
the 3468A
is in the 4 1/2 digit display mode, the last digit returned before the E
will be a 0. In the 3 1/2 digit mode, the last two digits will be O's. CR LF is a
standard end-of-line indicator and does not show in the display.
Overload
conditions are sent through the loop as:
+9.99999E+9
