Agilent Technologies E8663B, N5181A/82A, N5183A MXG manual Clear Function, Output Function

		Programming Examples
		GPIB Programming Interface Examples
Library	Function Statement	Initialization Command
NI- 488.2	The NI- 488.2 library function places the interface in local	ibloc (int ud)
	mode and allows operation of the signal generator’s front
	panel keys. The ud parameter in the parameter list is the
	interface or device descriptor.
SICL	The Agilent SICL function puts the signal generator into	iloc(id)
	Local operation; enabling front panel key operation. The id
	parameter identifies the session.

Clear Function

The HP Basic function CLEAR and the other listed IO library functions clear the signal generator.

Library	Function Statement	Initialization Command
HP Basic	The CLEAR 719 function halts all pending output- parameter	10 CLEAR 719
	operations, resets the parser (interpreter of programming
	codes) and prepares for a new programming code, stops any
	sweep in progress, and turns off continuous sweep.
VISA Library	The VISA library uses the viClear function. This function	viClear(ViSession vi)
	performs an IEEE 488.1 clear of the signal generator.
NI- 488.2	The NI- 488.2 library function sends the GPIB Selected	ibclr(int ud)
	Device Clear (SDC) message to the device described by ud.
SICL	The Agilent SICL function clears a device or interface. The	iclear (id)
	function also discards data in both the read and write
	formatted IO buffers. The id parameter identifies the
	session.

Output Function

The HP Basic IO function OUTPUT and the other listed IO library functions put the signal generator into a listen mode and prepare it to receive ASCII data, typically SCPI commands.

Library	Function Statement	Initialization Command
HP Basic	The function OUTPUT 719 puts the signal generator into	10 OUTPUT 719
	remote mode, makes it a listener, and prepares it to receive
	data.
VISA Library	The VISA library uses the above function and associated	viPrintf(parameter list)
	parameter list to output data. This function formats
	according to the format string and sends data to the device.
	The parameter list describes the session id and data to send.
