HP 53131A, 132A manual Using QuickBASIC, Using Turbo C, List of the Programming Examples

Chapter 3 Programming Your Universal Counter for Remote Operation

Elements of SCPI Commands

Using QuickBASIC

The QuickBASIC examples assume you have an HP 82335A

HP-IB Interface card inside your IBM PC or compatible.

Using Turbo C

The Turbo C examples assume you have an HP 82335A

HP-IB Interface card inside your IBM PC or compatible.

List of the Programming Examples

	The following examples are provided:
	1.	Easiest Way to Make a Measurement (HP BASIC only)
	2.	To Make a Frequency Measurement
	3.	To Perform Limit Testing (HP BASIC and QuickBASIC only)
	4.	To Measure the Statistics of 50 Measurements (HP BASIC and
		QuickBASIC only)
	5.	To Use Limits to Filter Data Before Measuring Statistics.
	6.	To Read and Store Calibration Data— this program is useful if you plan
		to calibrate your HP 53131A/132A and want to be able to return to the
		original calibration at a later date.
		(HP BASIC and QuickBASIC only)
	7.	To Perform a Time Interval Calibration— this program shows how to
		perform both types of time interval calibrations.
		(The “fine” time interval calibration uses the HP 59992A J06 Time
		Interval Calibrator.) This program also shows how to use the basic
		calibration security capabilities. Note, early versions of the Counter
		cannot execute this program since they do not support calibration security
		or “fine” time interval calibration. (HP BASIC only)
	8.	To Optimize Throughput; that is, to set up the Counter to transfer data at
		the fastest possible rate.
	9.	To Use Macros
	All programming examples use the ASCII format to transfer data from the
NOTE
	Counter to the computer. The ASCII format is the default format when *RST is
	used.
