IBASIC Programming

Instrument BASIC

Programming and Using the TESTS Subsystem

IBASIC gives you control over the internal functionality of the Agilent 8922M/S, as well as control over any external instruments connected to the GPIB.

Refer to the Agilent 8922M/S Agilent Instrument BASIC Programmer’s Guide for details about IBASIC. The manual contains important information about the IBASIC programming-language code, Test Procedure and Test Library file structures, and programming and interfacing techniques.

Program Status

A single-character “run indicator” is displayed in the upper-right corner of the screen to indicate program status:

•If the screen is blank, the program is stopped.

•An asterisk “*”, indicates the program is running or doing other input/output.

•A dash “-” indicates the program is paused.

•A question mark “?” indicates the program is awaiting user input.

Three alpha characters are also displayed in the upper-right corner of the screen to indicate status:

•An “R” indicates the Agilent 8922M/S is in remote operation; the absence of an “R” means the Agilent 8922M/S has changed to local operation.

•An “T” indicates the Agilent 8922M/S is “talking” on the GPIB.

•An “L” indicates the Agilent 8922M/S is “listening” on the GPIB.
