Instruction Argument Description
AUTOĆ
SCALE
AutoĆscaling automatically optimizes the X and Y
axes scales of a graph displayed in the MEAĆ
SURE menu. This function is used upon compleĆ
tion of a measurement.
BEEP Beeps for one second.
BREAK Breaks out of FOR, ENDFOR loops. Execution
continues with the instruction following the ENDĆ
FOR instruction.
CALL <FUNC> Calls a subroutine specified by <FUNC>.
<FUNC>::= Subroutine name (max. 8 alphanuĆ
meric characters)
ELSE Forms conditional branching logic used in conĆ
junction with IF and ENDIF instructions. Defines
sequence when condition is false.
END Terminates program execution. The END instrucĆ
tion must appear as the last instruction of the
main routine.
ENDFOR Terminates a FOR loop. A FOR loop must end
with a ENDFOR instruction.
ENDIF Terminates an IF conditional branching construct.
An IF (ELSE) statement must end with a ENDIF
instruction.
EXIT Exits from the program. The EXIT instruction can
be placed anywhere in the program.
FOR
<FROM>
<TO>
Starts a FOR loop. The loop is repeated from the
register X as loop counter starts from <FROM>,
incrementing by 1 each time a loop is executed,
until the register X reaches <TO>. A FOR loop
must end with and ENDFOR instruction.
In the loop, the value of loop counter can be refĆ
erenced by adding &" to the X (e.g. &X).
When the <FROM> is set to a value larger than
the <TO>, the FOR statement goes into an infiĆ
nite loop.
<FROM>::= Initial loop counter value (0 to 255)
<TO>::= Final loop counter value (0 to 255)
