The many programming codes for the swept CW generator are listed

Enter
Enter is the complement of OUTPUT, and is used to transfer data
from the addressed instrument to the controller. The syntax is:
device

selector

I

n u m b e r
ENTER is always used in conjunction with OUTPUT, such as:
100
OUTPUT 719;
. . . programming codes . . .
110
ENTER719;
. . . response
data...
ENTER statements are commonly formatted, which requires the
secondary command USING and the appropriate image items. The
most-used image items involve end-of-line (EOL) suppression, binary
inputs, and literal inputs. For example:
100
A, B, C
suppresses the EOL sequence
and indicates that variables A, B,
and C are to be filled with binary (B) data. As another example,
100 ENTER719 USING
A$
suppresses EOL, and indicates that string variable A$ is to be filled
with 123 bytes of literal data (123A).
