5.7.13 Quit

The Quit command is used to quit the Analyst488 program and exit

to DOS. This action signifies that you are finished with the Analyst488
program. All data in open windows that were not previously saved are
lost. A dialog box will appear asking for confirmation before exiting the
Analyst488 program.

This command may also be selected without pulling down the File

menu by pressing <Ctrl Q>.

5.8 Display Menu

The display menu is used to let you change the way you look at the data on the

screen. Message and addressing formats can be set and the orientation of the screens
can be changed.

5.8.1 Format

This command opens a dialog box which allows you to select the

format of data in the active window.

5.8.1.1 Message

Selecting Message will display bus events in the format shown below:

00021 TAG21 55 085 0101 0101 ATN REN

The leftmost field is the location of the data in the Analyzer488 record

memory. If this location contained the trigger point, a 'T' would be
displayed in front of the location.

The next field will show the IEEE 488 bus command (if ATN is

asserted) corresponding to the data on the bus. If Attention is not asserted,
the equivalent ASCII character or code for data is shown.

The next three fields show the Hexadecimal, Decimal and Binary

equivalent of the data at that location.
