-hp- 3336A/B/C Programming Times
3-B-1. Approximate Programming Times.
3-B-2. The -hp- 3336 processes each programming code as it is received when in Data
Transfer Mode 1. The 3336 can not receive the next program code until the previous code
has been processed. Approximate times are supplied so the operator can predict program
times more accurately. This ability allows the program to be executed at its fastest rate
without any loss of accuracy arising from not allowing for enough settling time. In Data
Transfer Mode 2, these times still apply except, the Program Codes are not processed until
the
EOS
character
is
received
(see
Paragraph
3-154).
3-B-3. In addition to the program times, each character requires 150 to 200 yseconds to be
received from the HP-IB. This is the transfer rate when Data Transfer Mode 2 is used. The
processing times, however, still exist and processing starts when the EOS character is receiv-
ed. At this time, the controller is free to perform other function while the -hp- 3336 is pro-
cessing program codes.
NOTE
These times are in addition to the settling times for frequency,
amplitude and phase changes listed in Table 1-1.
