Program Comments
10: Assign the source’s HP-IB address to a variable.
20 to 50: Abort any HP-IB activity and initialize the HP-IB
interface.
60: Set the source to its initial state for programming. The
state is not the same as the PRESET state. For complete details
of the instrument state at
see “SCPI Command Summary,"
in Chapter 2.
70: Select the frequency mode to be SWEEP instead of the default
sweep mode of “CW” that was selected with *RST.
80: Set the source start frequency to 4
90: Set the source stop frequency to 7
Note the optional
usage of the short-form mnemonic, “FREQ”.
100: Set the source’s power level to -5
110: Set the sweeptime to 500 ms. Notice that upper/lower case in
commands does not matter. Also spaces before the suffix (“MS”)
are not required in SCPI.
120 and 130: Set markers 1 and 2 to a fixed value. Notice that the
value for marker 2 does not end with a frequency suffix. Hertz is a
default terminator and is understood.
140: Wait until the source has completed setting up the commands
that have been sent so far before turning on the output.
150: The ENTER statement causes the program to wait here until
the source responds to the previous *OPC? with a ‘1’.
