Agilent Technologies 8922M, S GSM manual Using HP-IB, PROGram Interface Commands

		Instrument BASIC
		Entering and Editing Programs
Using HP-IB	The easiest way to enter and edit a program is to create it on your computer, using
	your computer’s editing features, and then download it into the Agilent 8922M/S.
	The usual development sequence is:
	1	Write the program on your computer to control the Agilent 8922M/S using the
		normal 7xx GPIB address.
	2	Run the program to verify that it controls the Agilent 8922M/S correctly.
	3	Change the Agilent 8922M/S’s GPIB address in your program to 8xx.
	4	Download the program into the Agilent 8922M/S. (See Downloading a Program
		Into the Agilent 8922M/S.)
	5	Run the program on the Agilent 8922M/S to verify correct operation.
	6	Copy the program to a memory card for future use.

PROGram Interface Commands

The Agilent 8922M/S’s IBASIC Controller has a special Program Interface it uses to communicate with other computers over GPIB. When sending a command to the Agilent 8922M/S from another computer, you must use a ‘PROG’ command to tell the Agilent 8922M/S you need it to perform an operation.

In the following list, ‘Addr’ is the address of the Agilent 8922M/S, and ‘<filename>’ represents the name of the file you are saving or retrieving.

NOTE For more information on memory cards, see the Memory Cards section.

To initialize a memory card use this command:

OUTPUT Addr;”PROG:EXEC ‘INITIALIZE “”:INTERNAL””’”

To change the default Mass Storage device use this command:

OUTPUT Addr;”PROG:EXEC ‘MSI “”:INTERNAL””’”

To save a file to the default Mass Storage device, use this command:

OUTPUT Addr;”PROG:EXEC ‘SAVE “”<filename>””’”

To retrieve a file from the default Mass Storage device, use this command:

OUTPUT Addr;”PROG:EXEC ‘GET “”<filename>””’”
