DAC/BIT
Designators DAC and BIT designators
are two alpha-character
mnemonics that refer to
hardware DACs and bits.
Refer to the paragraphs
on Monitor Commands for
a complete

of
designators.
Learn Suffix A
learn
suffix is a
string of
ASCII
characters
that
contain
coded memory location
contents. Refer to
the
paragraphs on Binary
Learn Commands for
decoding of the Learn
string.

BINARY LEARN COMMANDS
Front panel setups are stored in the memory of the Generator in a packed binary format.
The binary learn commands are used to transfer this binary data between an IEEE-488
controller and the Generator. These commands
allow
you to
minimize the amount of
programming commands
needed to
program the entire instrument state. The binary
learn
commands are:
“LM” Learn Memory
“LI” Learn Interface
The syntax for the Learn Memory (“LM”)
command
is as follows:
“LM” Memory Location Code
The Generator responds to the “LM” command with a string of 64 ASCII characters
followed
by
an <EOR> (end of
record character).
This string represents the front
panel
settings (in a packed binary format) that were stored in the memory location specified.
NOTE
The <EOR>
,
end
of
record character, is sent with EOIasserted. **TM0’' selects
the linefeed character, and **TM1" selects the carriage return character.
