Line Description
34 to 35 Checks if an error occurred. If an error is detected, forces 0 V and goes to Check_err.
37 to 39 Performs multi channel spot measurement. And stores the measured data into the data
valiable.
41 to 42 Applies 0 V from the all channels. And transfers the data stored in the data variable to the
save_data subprogram (see Table 4-1). And the subprogram will save the data into the
C:\Agilent\data\data2.txt file (CSV) and displays the data on a message box.
44 to 45 Displays a message box to show an error message if the error is detected.
