Step 12: Verify Operation
This step verifies mainframe operation by:
• Checking for start-up errors
• Checking for system errors
• Checking/Setting the System Time
• Checking/Setting System Date
• Determining the Installed Instruments
Use Step 12A to verify using a program supplied on the “Verification and Example Program Disk”, or use
Step 12B to verify using other programs.
Note If errors are noted or your computer is unable to communicate with the mainframe, go to
Appendix A “In Case Of Difficulty” for troubleshooting information.
Step 12A: Verify Using The VERF_XXX Program
Use the program called “VERF_XXX” (the “XXX” identifies program type) to verify the mainframe
operation. The programs come in three different versions: two for Windows, three for DOS, and one for
computers with BASIC/IBASIC. The programs can be found on the “Verification and Example Programs”
disks that came with the mainframe. Included on the disks are both the executable files and source codes (to
allow customizing the programs).
Note To verify mainframe operation using program languages other than those provided, go to
page 1-22.
Programs for DOS
• VERF_CC.EXE - this program requires an Agilent 82335 GPIB Interface Card. The program was
written in the C language using the GPIB Command Library, which comes with the Agilent 82335
GPIB Interface Card.
• VERF_QBC.EXE - this program requires an Agilent 82335 GPIB Interface Card. The program was
written in Microsoft® QuickBASIC using the GPIB Command Library which comes with the Agilent
82335 GPIB Interface Card.
• VERF_QBT.EXE - use this program to verify mainframe operation using the RS-232 port on the PC
computer. The program was written in Microsoft® QuickBASIC.
