Application Programs
This chapter contains several remote interface application programs
to help you develop programs for your measurement application.
Chapter 4, “Remote Interface Reference,” starting on page 103, lists the
syntax for the
SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments) commands available to program the multimeter.
The QuickBASIC example programs are written for the Agilent 82335A
GPIB Interface Card and command library for IBM
â
PC compatibles.
The GPIB (IEEE-488) address is set to “22” when the multimeter is
shipped from the factory. The examples in this chapter assume an GPIB
address of 22. When sending a remote interface command, you append
this address to the
GPIB interface’s select code (normally “7”). Therefore,
with an address of “22” and a select code of “7”, the combination is “722”.
