Using IB_UTIL Programs

See “Securing a Test Procedure” on page 123 for information about the SECURE_IT program. See “Clearing RAM” on page 124 for information about the RAM_MANAGER program.

COPY_PL

The COPY_PL program allows you to copy procedures and libraries from one PC card to another. See the Agilent Technologies 8935 Programmer’s Guide for more information about procedures and libraries.

FILE_XFER

The FILE_XFER (file transfer) program transfers files on a PC card to a device attached to either the GPIB or to SERIAL PORT 9.

RAM_USAGE

The RAM_USAGE program lists the following information about the Test Set’s RAM:

•Total RAM installed

•RAM disk allocations

•Save register allocations

•Approximate RAM available for IBASIC programs
