Getting Started

Getting Started

Before attempting to program the Counter, take some time to familiarize yourself with the content of this guide. The remainder of this chapter contains the following information:

∙An explanation of how you should use the programming guide based on your experience programming instruments and your testing requirements.

∙A description of the guide contents.

∙A statement of assumptions that are made in the guide.

∙A list of related documentation.

How to Use This Guide

How you use this guide depends upon how much you already know about programming instruments and how complex your measurement requirements are. Let’s start by establishing your programming background, and then discuss the type of measurements you want to perform.

New UsersWhat You Should Understand

As a new user, you should understand that you must have some understanding of a high-level language such as Pascal, BASIC, C,

or FORTRAN before you can use the command set defined in this guide to control the Counter. (In Chapter 3, “Programming Your Universal Counter for Remote Operation,” there are programming examples provided in HP BASIC, Microsoft ® QuickBASIC, and Borland ® Turbo C.) However, whatever language you use, command strings that control the Counter remain the same.
