1-4 HP IBASIC Supplement
Introduction
Using HP Instrument BASIC
Using HP Instrument BASIC
You need not be proficient in a programming language to successfully use
IBASIC. In keystroke recording mode, IBASIC automatically builds an
executable program by capturing measurement sequences as they are
performed. With little or no editing of these program lines, you can
immediately put your program to work to control and automate your
analyzer.
The IBASIC language is a subset of the HP BASIC language. In fact,
IBASIC programs can be run on any HP BASIC workstation with very
few changes. When an external PC keyboard (with a DIN connector) is
connected to the analyzer, the IBASIC user interface emulates the user
interface of the HP BASIC. The PC keyboard can be used for command
entry, editing and program inputs.
You can use IBASIC to do the following:
• create on screen graphics
• control other instruments and peripherals
• create interactive prompts
• simplify keystrokes with the key
• create programs by recording keystrokes
• run applications
IBASIC also works in conjunction with an external controller which can
download and run programs, query variables and respond to service
requests (SRQs).
