Agilent Technologies 3458A User Manual

Chapter 7 BASIC Language for the 3458A 271
Trigonometric Functions Three trigonometric functions are provided in the 3458A. The trigonometric
functions are shown in the following table.
Logical Functions The 3458A has four logical functions: AND (inclusive-AND), OR
(inclusive-OR), EXOR (exclusive-OR), and NOT (logical inverse). The first
three functions compare the two arguments and return either a "0" or a " 1"
based on the respective truth table. Any non-zero value (positive or negative)
in an argument is considered a logical "1". Only zero is treated as a logical
"0".
The logic function commands have the following syntax. The truth tables for
the four functions are shown below.
argument AND argument
argument OR argument
argument EXOR argument
NOT argument
Binary Functions The 3458A provides seven binary functions. These can help in digital pattern
generation. When using the binary functions, argument values ("X" and "Y")
of real variables are rounded to integers in the range –32768 to +32767. The
binary functions are shown in the table below.
EXP(X)
e
x
: Natural antilogarithm. Raises e to
the power of the argument.
LGT(X) Log
10
: Common logarithm of a positive
argument to the base 10.
Function/Argument Meaning
Function/Argument Meaning (X in radians)
SIN(X) Sine of argument.
COS(X) Cosine of argument.
ATN(X) Arctangent of argument.
A B A AND B A OR B A EXOR B NOT A NOT B
0000011
0101110
1001101
1111000
Function/Argument Meaning
BINAND(X,Y) Bit-by-bit logical AND of the arguments.
BINCMP(X) Bit-by-bit binary complement of the argument.
BINEOR(X,Y) Bit-by-bit logical Exclusive-OR of the arguments.
BINIOR(X.Y) Bit-by-bit logical Inclusive-OR of the arguments.
BIT(X,position) Returns "0" or "1" representing the logic value of the
specified bit of the argument. The bit position is in the
range 0 (Isb) to 15 (msb).
