Measurement Computing Micro 488/EX rev.2.1 - Manual (Page 122)

Section 5 Command Descriptions
5.52
The following example program defines two macros. The STARTUP event is used
to invoke Macro 80. After running this program, the power is removed from the
Micro488/EX. When power is re-applied, Macro 80 executes. It waits until 1:00 PM
then executes Macro 70, 10 times and 20 second intervals. The STARTUP event sets
LOG
ON. The data that is collected by Macro 70 is then placed in the LOG buffer. The
data separator between the TIME, DATE and Device 16 data was set to a horizontal
TAB
character by the COMMENT command.
After execution, the data can be read from the LOG buffer with the READ LOG
command.
