This section shows you the fundamentals of operating the multimeter from
remote. This includes reading and changing the GPIB address, sending a
command to the multimeter, and retrieving data from the multimeter.
The statements used to operate the multimeter from remote depend on the
computer and its language. In particular, you need to know the statements
the computer uses to input and output information. For example, the input
statements for the Hewlett-Packard Series 200/300 BASIC language are:
ENTER or TRANSFER
The output statement is:
OUTPUT
Read your computer manuals to find out which statements you need to use.
