Chapter 6, IBASIC Controller
PROGram Subsystem
:EXECute <program_command>
The :EXECute command is used to execute,
from an external controller, an IBASIC program command in the Test Set’s built-
in IBASIC Controller .
<program_command> is string data representing any legal IBASIC command. If
the string data does not represent a legal IBASIC command, an
IBASIC Error:
-285 Program syntax error
is generated.
Any IBASIC program in the Test Set must be in either the PAUSed or STOPped
state before the external controller issues the :EXECute <program_command>
command. If the IBASIC program is in the RUN state, an
IBASIC Error: -284
Program currently running
is generated.
Syntax
PROGram[:SELected]:EXECute <delimiter><program_command><delimiter>
The following notation is used in the command description:
<delimiter> = IEEE 488.2 <string data> delimiter, single quote or double quote, must
be the same.
Example
OUTPUT 714;"PROGram:SELected:EXECute ’CLEAR SCREEN’"
or
OUTPUT 714;"PROG:EXEC ’CLEAR SCREEN’"
