How to Execute
Coupled Commands
Command coupling determines the AFG programming sequence. Coupled
commands must be contiguous and executed in the same program statement.
This is done by placing the commands in the same program line, or by
suppressing the end-of-line terminator until the last (coupled) command has
been sent (HP IBASIC programs only).
To send multiple commands in a single line or in a single statement, the
commands are linked with a semicolon (;) and a colon (:). This is illustrated
in the following lines:
SOUR:ROSC:SOUR INT;:SOUR:FUNC:SHAP SIN
or
SOUR:ROSC:SOUR INT;
:SOUR:FUNC:SHAP SIN
Both techniques are used in the programs found throughout this manual.
Note that the semicolon (;) and colon (:) link commands within different
subsystems. Only a semicolon (;) is required to link commands within the
same subsystem (see “ SCPI Command Structure” earlier in this chapter).
Note
See “HP IBASIC Language Programs” later in this chapter for information
on suppressing the end-of-line terminator.
