IBASIC Controller RAM for receiving programs.

OUTPUT Addr;”PROG:DEL”

deletes any programs currently residing in RAM.

OUTPUT Addr;”PROG:DEF #0”

defines the address in RAM where a downloaded program will be stored.

Preparing the Agilent 8922M/S to Receive Programs

1Configure the GPIB port as described in this chapter, ‘GPIB Configuration For Programming” on page 8-5 .

2Access the IBASIC Controller screen.

Downloading A Program Into the Agilent 8922M/S

This procedure assumes your Agilent 8922M/S’s GPIB address is 14. If it is not, change the address in the following procedure to match your instrument’s address.

1Load the IBASIC program to be downloaded into your controller.

2Enter these commands to transfer the program to the Agilent 8922M/S:

10DIM LINE$[200], FILE_NAME$[120]

20Addr=714

30	INPUT ”NAME OF (ASCII) IBASIC FILE TO DOWN-	LOAD?”, FILE_NAME
$
40	ASSIGN @FILE TO FILE_NAME$; FORMAT ON
50	ON END @FILE GOTO DONE
60	OUTPUT Addr;”PROG:DEL”
70	OUTPUT Addr;”PROG:DEF #0”
80	WHILE (1)
90	ENTER @FILE; LINE$
100	OUTPUT Addr; LINE$
110	END WHILE
120	DONE: !
130	OUTPUT Addr; ” ” END
140	PRINT ”Done with down-load”
150	END

Figure 8-6 Download Program for Computers using GPIB

To verify that your code was downloaded, type in the command- OUTPUT 714;”PROG:EXEC ‘LIST ’”. Your program should be listed on the Agilent 8922M/S’s IBASIC Controller screen.
