Entering and Editing Programs

The IBASIC Controller screen is the “computer” for the TESTS subsystem. You enter and edit programs just like any other IBASIC computer, with the exceptions that the Agilent 8922M/S does not have a computer keyboard connected directly to it, and full screen editing does not yet exist.

Programs can be entered into the IBASIC computer’s RAM using a variety of methods:

•Using the IBASIC Controller screen and the Cursor Control knob.

•Using an external IBASIC controller connected to the Agilent 8922M/S by GPIB.

•Using an external ASCII terminal or Personal Computer (PC) connected to the Agilent 8922M/S by RS-232.

A list of characters is displayed that you select from to enter your commands. A maximum of 100 characters may be entered into the command line. After the command is entered on the command line, select ‘Done’ at the top of the list of characters to execute it.

Commands and program lines are entered just as you would enter them using a keyboard. For example, to set the default mass storage device to the memory card slot, you would enter the command

MSI “:INTERNAL”

and select ‘Done’

To list the contents of the default mass storage device, enter

CAT

and select ‘Done’.
