How to Migrate HP 4145A/B Programs
HP 4145A/B Auto Sequence Program (ASP) programs
run on the HP 4145A/B built-in programming
environment and allow
basic
control of HP 4145A/B without using an external computer.To run the
ASP programs on the HP 4155A/56A, you do one of the following and execute the program in the
HP
4155/56 command mode
:
Create a program that performs the same operations as the desired ASP program by using the
IBASIC editor typing aid softkeys to enter commands that correspond to each ASP command. This
program can run on IBASIC only,
not
on an external computer. Refer to \Creating ASP-like IBASIC
Programs" in Chapter 1 for details.
Create a program using SCPI commands that performs same operations as the desired ASP
program. This program can run on IBASIC or on an external computer
. Refer to \Programming
Example for HP 4145 Users" in Chapter 4 for details.
HP 4145A/B HP-IB programs
run on an external computer and allow
full
control of the HP 4145A/B.To
run these programs on the HP 4155A/56A, do one of the following:
Directly run the HP 4145A/B program on the HP 4155A/56A with little or no modication. Y
ou
