2-12 HP IBASIC Supplement
Recording Programs
Operations That Do Not Record
Mnemonics with No Corresponding Front
Panel Operation
Several of the analyzer SCPI mnemonics for the instrument perform
operations that are not available from the front panel and cannot be
recorded. These include operations such as querying instrument status,
transferring data over GPIB, setting and clearing status registers, and
general GPIB housekeeping.
These operations are useful for the more advanced GPIB programmer
using IBASIC. Because they fall outside the direct operating realm of the
analyzer, they cannot be recorded. They can be added to a recorded
program using the built-in editor or another editing environment. See
your analyzer's Programmer's Guide for a complete description of the
analyzer's GPIB command set. See also “Built-In High-Speed
Subprograms” on page 9-3.
