HELLO WORLD should be displayed on the Agilent 8922M/S and the

terminal/PC’s screen.

After the cable and adapter have been connected, and the Agilent 8922M/S and terminal (or PC) have been configured, you should be able to type on your terminal’s keyboard and “talk” to the Agilent 8922M/S.

As you type each command, the letters appear on the Agilent 8922M/S’s command lines and the terminal/PC screen. The letters appear on the terminal/PC screen because the Inst Echo field in the I/O CONFIGURE screen is set to On.

When the program is run, HELLO WORLD appears on the Agilent 8922M/S’s display area and on the terminal/PC’s screen because the IBASIC Echo field in the CONFIGURE screen is On. Any non-graphic character that is printed to the Agilent 8922M/S’s display area during a “print-to-screen” operation (CAT, LIST, PRINT,..) is also printed to the terminal/PC.

Refer to ‘Entering and Editing Programs” on page 8-16, to start programming or editing.
