$
(Execute Indirect File)
In the
$
function, an indirect file is a text file that contains
IBIC
functions. It is similar to a DOS batch file and is created the same way.
This function reads the specified indirect file and executes the
IBIC
functions in sequence as if they were entered in that order from the
keyboard.
Example:
gpib0:
$ usrfile
executes the
IBIC
functions listed in the file
usrfile
, and
gpib0:
3*$ usrfile
repeats that operation three times.
The display mode, in effect before this function is executed, is restored
afterward but may be changed by functions in the indirect file.
