AP Basic User’s Guide and Language Reference

You can create

tests

and

macros

to automate your measurements.

Macros are written in the AP Basic programming language, which is a
subset of Microsoft® Visual Basic®. The

AP Basic User’s Guide and

Language Reference

contains a list of the AP Basic commands, each with a

full description and examples of usage.

AP Basic Extensions Reference for ATS-2

The

AP Basic Extensions Reference for ATS-2

contains a list of

OLE/ActiveX automation commands that control the specific features of
the ATS-2 hardware and the ATS software.

Filter Design Package Manual

ATS-2 can access and use

downloadable filter files

. This feature allows

you to install custom software high-pass, low-pass and weighting filters for
use with the ATS-2 analyzer.

The ATS CD-ROM includes a version of Momentum Data Systems’

QEDLite filter design package. This special version creates filter files in the
format used by ATS. The

Filter Design Package

manual describes the

operation of this software.

Other Publications

Audio Precision publishes application notes, tech notes, technical papers

and training materials that cover all aspects of audio test and
measurement. Information about our library of technical papers and
announcements of new papers is available from Audio Precision Technical
Support, and on the Audio Precision Web site.

GPIB Documentation for ATS-2

When ordered in the optional GPIB configuration, ATS-2 can also be

controlled by the industry-standard General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB).

Basic installation with GPIB is covered in Chapter 7 of this manual. For

GPIB development and programming, order the

ATS-2 GPIB

Programmer’s Reference Manual

, which includes a CD-ROM with GPIB

sample program files.
