HP WaterSkis E1312A, WaterSkis E1412A See -5 for the HP E1312A/E1412A Multimeter status system

This example monitors the switch module’s status system. The switch module’s status system (HP E1476A) is shown in Figure 2-4. This example program enables the switch's “Scan Complete” bit to allow it to set the OPR bit in the switch's status byte when the scan is finished. The program repeatedly reads the switch module's status byte until the OPR bit gets set which returns a status byte value of 128. This indicates the switch module has completed all closures in the scan list. The multimeter's FETC? command causes the multimeter to transfer readings to the output buffer after completing the last measurement. Readings are entered into the computer using an I/O construct you provide.

NOTE: This is the HP E1476A Switch Module’s status system.

See Figure 2-5 for the HP E1312A/E1412A Multimeter status system.
