Attribute Summary:
Description:
This command transfers a program between the analyzer and your controller. This allows you to develop
a program on your controller and then load it into the analyzer.
Use the PROG[:SEL]:NAME to select the active program buffer.
When you transfer a program to the analyzer, you can use either the definite or the indefinite length block
syntax. The simplest way to load an Instrument BASIC program into the analyzer is to send this
command followed by #0, followed by all the characters making up the program (including line numbers
and line feeds at the end of each program statement). Terminate the entire command with line feed
character (ASCII decimal 10) and <^END> (the GPIB END message, EOI set true).
When the analyzer returns the program to your controller, it always uses the definite length block syntax.
See "GPIB Message Syntax" in the GPIB Programmer's Guide for more information.
