Agilent Technologies E1301B, E1300B, 75000 SERIES B Parameters DIAGnostic DOWNload MADDress

:DOWNload

[:MADDress]

Parameters

DIAGnostic :DOWNload [:MADDress]

DIAGnostic:DOWNload[:MADDress] < address> ,< data> writes data into a

non-volatile User RAM segment starting at address. The User RAM segment is allocated by the DIAG:NRAM:CREate command.

Parameter	Parameter	Range of	Default
Name	Type	Values	Units
address	numeric	0 to 16,777,215 (# HFFFFFE)	none
data	arbitrary block	See "Parameter Types", in the	none
	program data	beginning of this chapter

Comments	• CAUTION: Be certain that all of the data you download will be contained
	entirely within the allocated NRAM segment. Writing data outside of the
	NRAM segment will disrupt the operation of the Command Module.
	Most computers terminate an OUTPUT, PRINT, or WRITE statement
	with a carriage return or carriage return and line feed. These
	End-Of-Line characters must be either accounted for (NRAM segment
	sized to accommodate them), or suppressed using an appropriate
	IMAGE or FORMAT statement. Some helpful methods:
	– Size the NRAM segment a little larger than the expected data block
	– Control the End-Of-Line characters with format statements.
	– Use the Definite Length Arbitrary Block Program Data format (see
	example) to send your data rather than the Indefinite Length
	Arbitrary Block Program Data format.
	• This command is generally used to download data into User
	Configuration Tables. These tables allow the user to control the system’s
	dynamic configuration DOWNload uses word writes.
	• Address may be specified in decimal, hex (# H), octal (# Q), or binary
	(# B) formats. DOWNload is done by word (16 bit) access so address
	must be even.
	• Be certain that address specifies a location within the User RAM
	segment allocated using DIAG:NRAM:CREate if you are downloading a
	configuration table. DIAG:DOWNload can change the contents of
	System RAM causing unpredictable results.
	• This command can also be used to write data to a device with registers in
	the A16 address space. See :DOWNload:SADDress.
