2-2 HP IBASIC Supplement
Recording Programs
Keystroke recording, described in this chapter, is ideal for creating
simple programs or measurement sequences for instrument control.
Other methods of program development may be used to supplement
keystroke recording and create more sophisticated programs. If a
program requires data processing, decision making, operator input, or a
display of graphical diagrams, other program development methods are
needed. These methods are covered in Chapter 5, “Developing
Programs.”
IBASIC programs for the analyzer can be created and edited using the
following methods:
• the front panel keys and knob
• an external keyboard (Option 1CL)
• an Agilent controller running HP BASIC
• a workstation or PC using a text editor or programming editor
