Programming Fundamentals
Using the LAN to Control the Analyzer
Consult your BASIC documentation to learn how to load the SICL
driver for BASIC.
After the SICL driver is loaded, you control your analyzer using
commands such as the following:
OUTPUT 718; “*IDN?”
ENTER 718; S$
where 18 is the device address for the analyzer.
See the BASIC example program in this chapter for more information.
Controlling Your Analyzer with SICL LAN and BASIC for UNIX
(Rocky Mountain BASIC)
Before you can use Rocky Mountain Basic (HPRMB) with SICL LAN,
you will need to set up the SICL LAN I/O drivers for HPRMB. Consult
your system administrator for details.
Create a
.rmbrc
file in your root directory of your UNIX workstation
with the following entries:
SELECTIVE_OPEN=ON
Interface 8= “lan[analyzer IP address]:GPIB name”;NORMAL
Replace
analyzer IP address
with the IP address of your analyzer,
and
GPIB name
with the GPIB name given to your analyzer. Also
replace the “8” of
Interface 8
with the logical unit number. Consult
your HPRMB documentation for the exact syntax.
After your SICL driver is configured correctly on your UNIX
workstation, you control your analyzer using commands such as the
following:
OUTPUT 818; “*IDN?”
ENTER 818; S$
where 18 is the device address for the analyzer.
