Descriptions of Simple Script Commands
Write Address

The Write Address command allows you to write a value to a register address

of the instrument. You are required to enter Execution Time, Address Code

and Address Value. The Address Code is the actual address to be changed,

while the Address Value is the value for the register.
Please note: Written register values are not easily undone. You must rewrite

the original value to the register if you want to undo your changes.

Please use this function only if you are sure you need to do so and only

after recording the original register value. If you are unfamiliar with register

values and their corresponding functions, please contact Alicat or your local

distributor for information.
