Chapter 2 Operating Information 27
Recall You can easily recall the last executed command without repeating the
command entry process.
Press:
The display will show the last command executed. (You cannot recall
commands that are executed immediately such as Reset or DCV, or any
command that contained the calibration security code.) By repeating the
above keystrokes, you can recall previously executed commands. After
recalling the desired command, you can modify it (see "Display Editing"
earlier in this section) and execute it by pressing Enter.
Operating from Remote
This section shows you the fundamentals of operating the multimeter from
remote. This includes reading and changing the GPIB address, sending a
command to the multimeter, and retrieving data from the multimeter.
Input/Output
Statements
The statements used to operate the multimeter from remote depend on the
computer and its language. In particular, you need to know the statements
the computer uses to input and output information. For example, the input
statements for the Hewlett-Packard Series 200/300 BASIC language are:
ENTER or TRANSFER
The output statement is:
OUTPUT
Read your computer manuals to find out which statements you need to use.
The examples in this manual use Hewlett-Packard Series 200/300 BASIC
language.
Reading the GPIB
Address
Before you can operate the multimeter from remote, you need to know its
GPIB address (factory setting = 22). To check the address.
Press:
A typical display is:
The displayed response is the device address. When sending a remote
command, you append this address to the GPIB interface's select code
(normally 7). For example, if the select code is 7 and the device address is
22, the combination is 722.
