such as selectors, soft buttons, soft keys, selections boxes and popĆup
menus are displayed for each menu and subĆmenus. Most operations can
be performed by touching the appropriate area on the screen.
Program execution, calibration, saving and loading information and such are
performed with the buttons on the front panel. Some buttons have popĆup
menus to allow you to enter the desired parameters on screen.
The General Purpose knob on the front panel may be used to adjust numerĆ
ic values. It can also be used to select items, move cursors, the zoom winĆ
dow and text labels on the graph in the menu, instead of the corresponding
features in the menu system.
Floppy Disk Drive
The 372 is equipped with a floppy disk drive. Settings, measurement data
(curves) or programs can be saved on a 3.5 inch 2DD or 2HD floppy disk.
CRT display information can be saved on a floppy disk in TIFF, HPGL and
ESC/P formats. Since the floppy disk format is compatible with the MSĆDOS
format, data can be exchanged with MSĆDOS compatible computers. A
special menu provided for floppy disk file operation allows you to save and
load data, settings and programs, format a floppy disk, and copy, delete and
rename files and directories.
372ĆBased Programming
The 372 has a powerful instruction set for programming. Even complex
measurement sequences can be completely automated. The special proĆ
gramming menu provides an editing feature for the creation and modificaĆ
tion of a program, and an execution trace feature for debugging.
Remote Control (GPIB)
In addition to the feature above, the 372 is provided with a command set
that conforms to the IEEE Std. 488.2 Codes and Formats for remote control.
Nearly all of the features that are available from the menus and frontĆpanel
controls can be accessed with commands from a host computer via the rear
panel IEEE Std. 488.2 port.
Video Printer, Centronics, Plotter and TTL I/O
The 372 has a Centronics port and a video printer port on the rear panel for
connection to a printer and a video printer, so a hardcopy of the CRT display
can be made. The IEEE Std. 488.2 connector can also be used as a dediĆ
cated plotter port so that CRT displays and measured data can be plotted if
a HPGLĆcompatible plotter is connected to this port.
A TTL I/O port is also provided on the rear panel so synchronization with an
external device is possible during measurement when used in combination
with the program feature.
