Creating ASP-like IBASIC Programs

In the IBASIC editor of the HP 4155A/4156A, there are several typing aid

softkeys that allow you to easily create a program.

When you press the softkey, the corresponding IBASIC command is entered

into the program, so you do not have to type it, but you may need to type in

some parameters.

For HP 4145A/B users, this environment is very familiar because it is similar

to the Auto Sequence Program (ASP) programming environment of the HP

4145A/B.For most of the HP 4145 ASP commands, the IBASIC editor has a

softkey to enter a corresponding IBASIC command.

These programs can run in IBASIC

only

, not on an external computer.

Step 1. Creating Programs by using the Typing Aid

Softkeys

In the IBASIC editor, you can easily create programs that perform the same

operations as a desired HP 4145 ASP program by using the typing aid

softkeys. These are secondary softkeys.To display more softkeys, select

softkey.

For the ASP program shown below, let's create the corresponding IBASIC

program:

! ASP Program: Corresponding IBASIC Program:

1 GET P ICBVBE 10 EXECUTE ("GETSETUP 'ICBVBE.PRO'")

2 SINGLE 20 EXECUTE ("SINGLE")

3 SAVE D BV1 30 EXECUTE ("SAVEDATA 'BV1.DAT'")

40 END

Select the

GET SETUP

secondary softkey. The following appears:

10 EXECUTE ("GETSETUP ")
