Examples:

Getting Started

used if the command is only four charac- ters.

–If the last character in the command is a digit, then this digit is appended to the shortform.

Examples:

Longform	Shortform
:MEASURE	:MEAS
:NEGATIVE	:NEG
:DREGISTER0	:DREG0
:EXTERNAL4	:EXT4

The shortform is always printed in CAPI- TALS in this manual: :MEASure, :NEG- ative, :DREGister0, :EXTernal4 etc.

Example Language

Small examples are given at various places in the text. These examples are not in BASIC or C, nor are they written for any specific controller. They only contain the characters you should send to the counter and the responses that you should read with the controller.

Example:

SEND→ MEAS:FREQ?

This means that you should program the controller so that it addresses the counter and outputs this string on the GPIB.

READ← 1.234567890E6

This means that you should program the controller so that it can receive this data from the GPIB, then address the counter and read the data.

Setting Up the

Instrument

Setting the GPIB Address

The address switches on the rear panel of the counter are set to 10 when it is deliv- ered. The address used is displayed when the instrument is turned on.

If you want to use another bus address, you can set these switches to any address between 0 and 30 as shown in the follow- ing table.

	Switch		Switch
