HP E1367A, E1366A manual Initial Operation, Example RF Multiplexer Channel Lists/Ranges

Page 15

Use commas (,) to form a channel list or use a colon (:) to form a channel range. Only valid channels can be accessed in a channel list or channel range. Also, the channel list or channel range must be from a lower channel number to a higher channel number. For example, SCAN (@100:213) is acceptable, but SCAN (@213:100) generates an error.

Example: RF Multiplexer Channel Lists/Ranges

Channel Lists:

CLOS (@100,112)

OPEN (@203,210)

Channel Ranges:

OPEN (@100:113)

SCAN (@100:213)

!Close channels 00 and 12 on card 01 !Open channels 03 and 10 on card 02

!Open all channels on card 01

!Scan all channels on cards 01 and 02

Initial Operation

An example program follows which uses Hewlett-Packard BASIC and SCPI language to get you started using the RF multiplexers. The computer used in the example is an HP 9000 Series 200/300 (or equivalent) controller with HP BASIC as the program language. The computer interfaces to the mainframe using the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HP-IB)*.

This program closes channel 02 of an RF multiplexer at logical address 120 (secondary address = 120/8 = 15) and queries the channel closure state. The result is returned to the controller and displayed (1 = channel closed, 0 = channel open). See the HP B-size configuration guide for information on addressing.

Example: Close Multiplexer Channel

OUTPUT 70915;"CLOS (@102)"

OUTPUT 70915;"CLOS? (@102)"

ENTER 70915;Value

PRINT Value

END

!Close channel 02

!Query channel 02 state

!Enter result into Value

!Display result

*HP-IB is Hewlett-Packard’s implementation of IEEE Std 488.1-1984
