Example Programs

The following is an example program using

compatible

instruments. The example is written in HP BASIC.

This example is a stimulus and response application. It uses a source
and counter to test a voltage controlled oscillator.

Example Program

Description. This example demonstrates how several SCPI

instruments work together to perform a stimulus/response
measurement. This program measures the linearity of a voltage

controlled oscillator (VCO). A VCO is a device that outputs a

frequency proportional to an input signal level. Figure

shows

how the hardware is configured.
