HP IBASIC Supplement 5-7
Developing Programs
Editing Your Program Using Edit
The character entry menu is described “Editing from the Front Panel” on
page 5-11.
Recording into an Existing Program
One way to enter lines into your program is to use the keystroke
recording capabilities of IBASIC. To record measurement sequences or
other front panel operations into your program, follow the procedure
described below.
1. Activate the editor by pressing
.
2. Use the step keys on the analyzer or the cursor keypad on an external
keyboard to position the cursor on the line above where you want to
insert the recorded statements.
3. Press to exit the editor.
4. Press to activate keystroke recording.
5. Record the measurement sequence or front panel operation.
6. Press to conclude the recording
session.
The inserted recording acts the same as if you had pressed
in the editor, and generated OUTPUT statements in insert mode.
NOTE An ASSIGN statement is required. The ASSIGN statement (for example,
ASSIGN; @Hp8711 to 800) is not generated when you are recording
into an existing program and must be included in your program prior to
any recorded OUTPUT commands. If you initially created the program
using recording, this statement should already exist. If it does not exist,
you will need to enter it.
Editing with an External Keyboard
With an external keyboard connected to the analyzer, it is easy to edit or
create an IBASIC program using the internal editor. Note that the front
panel editor described in the next section is always available, even when
an external keyboard is in use.
