1005	!
1006	! This example shows how to make single-frequency, multi-channel
1007	! measurements using the HP 85330A and the FAST DATA modes of the HP 8530A
1008	! Microwave Receiver.
1009	!
1010	! It uses the HP BASIC/WS TRANSFER command to read data from the receiver
1011	! The HP BASIC command ENTER may also be used.

1020	! Build the FORM1 to FORM3 coversion table. During the FAST DATA
1021	! aquisition from the HP 8530A data translation is need to conver the
1022	! 6 bytes read from the receiver to a data point consiting of a
1023	! real and imaginary pair.
