This generates an object listing that has the same name as the program name
with an OBJ extension. This object file must be linked to the HP-IB library.
Second, link the HP-IB library:
link < path \program name >
After prompted for a run file, press the Enter key. The executable file with
an EXE extension is then generated.
QuickBASIC Program
Example
The following is an example program written in QuickBASIC using the HP
82335 HP-IB Interface Card. The program:
•
sends commands to the AFG to generate an arbitrary waveform
•
receives data from the AFG
•
shows how to send coupled commands
•
performs error checking of the AFG
’ ARB_GEN.BAS - This program generates a 4096 points ramp. The data to
’ generate the ramp is transferred to the AFG as voltages
