9.4 Sample Command Structure for IEEE-488 GPIB Operation

All sample commands are written in BASIC for a Hewlett Packard 85F computer and are representative of the required structure for proper operation of the C4's IEEE-488 interface.

Assumptions: C4 address is set to 1.

All options have been implemented.

SI - Select Immediate Mode

OUTPUT 701 "SI"

SP - Select Program Mode

OUTPUT 701 "SP"

ES - Enable the SRQ

OUTPUT 701 "ES"

DS - Disable the SRQ

OUTPUT 701 "DS"

TO - Turn Chamber On

OUTPUT 701 "TO"

TF - Turn Chamber Off

OUTPUT 701 "TF"

CO - Turn Compressor On

OUTPUT 701 "CO"

CF - Turn Compressor Off

OUTPUT 701 "CF"

RS - Request Status Information

OUTPUT 701 "RS"

To receive the status byte, use the following:

Enter 701 using "%,%B";A

DISP A

RE - Request Error Information

OUTPUT 701 "RE"

To receive error byte, use the following:

Enter 701 using "%,%B";A
