Example Program for Excel 97

 

This section contains the example program written using Excel Macros (Visual

 

BasicÒ for Applications) to control your Agilent E3633A or Agilent E3634A.

 

With Excel you can take the value of a cell in a spread sheet, send it to the

 

power supply, and then record the response on the worksheet. The example

 

on the following pages characterizes a component across the terminals of the

 

power supply. This example reads 11 voltages from a worksheet, programs

 

the power supply to that voltage, and then reads the current. The value of

 

current is recorded next to the voltage on the spread sheet.

 

The following table shows the result of the example program starting on page
