20 ! measurements on channel 1, using a 0.1 second gate time.
30 ! The results are displayed on the computer CRT.
40 ! ASCII format is used to preserve resolution.

! Declare variables
! Declare string to enter data
! Using strings to enter ASCII format
! data yields results formatted to the
! correct resolution. ASCII is the
! default format for the counter.
! Take 10 measurements
! Assign I/O path for counter
! Clear the counter and interface
! Reset the counter
! Clear event registers and error queue
! Clear service request enable register
! Clear event status enable register
! Preset enable registers and
! transition filters for operation and
! questionable status structures.
! Measure frequency on channel 1
! Clear the computer display
! Start making measurements
! Start a measurement and
! fetch the data
! Enter the frequency
! Return counter to local
