Copying Command Files

To control the HP 16500C system with longer sets of commands, you can first type the commands into an ASCII file. You then copy the file to the HP 16500 program file, at location \system\program. Files copied to this file location are passed on to the HP 16500C system’s command parser.

An HP 16550A state/timing analyzer is installed in slot C (slot 3) of your HP 16500C mainframe. To clear the format and trigger set-ups on the

HP 16550A, using a program file, first type the commands into an ASCII text file.

File clear.txt:

:SELECT 3 :MACHINE1:SFORMAT:REMOVE ALL :MACHINE1:STRIGGER:CLEAR ALL

The first command selects the state/timing analyzer in slot C to receive programming commands. The second command clears the format set-up. The third command clears the trigger set-up.

Now copy the file to the HP 16500 system. At the DOS prompt enter:

copy clear.txt L:\system\program

If you are using a UNIX system, you might use the cp command. In an MS-Windows environment, you can use File Manager.
