HP 8341b Operating Instructions

Here are the eight fundamental command statements:
Abort
Abort abruptly terminates all listener/talker activity on the interface bus, and prepares all instruments
to receive a new command from the controller. Typically, this is an initialization command used to
place the bus in a known starting condition. The syntax is
—>»^abort »-
interface
select code
where the interface select code is the computer’s HP-IB I/O port, which is typically port 7. Some
BASIC examples:
10 ABORT 7
100 IF V>20 THEN ABORT 7
Related statements used by some computers:
ABORTIO (used by HP-80 series computers)
HALT
RESET
Remote
Remote causes an instrument to change from local control to remote control. In remote control, the
front panel keys are disabled (except for the [LOCAL] key and the POWER switch), and the amber
REMOTE annunciator is lighted in the ENTRY DISPLAY. The syntax is
where the device selector is the address of the instrument appended to the HP-IB port number.
Typically, the HP-IB port number is 7, and the default address for the HP 8340B/41B is 19, so the
device selector is 719. Some BASIC examples:
10 REMOTE 7
which prepares all HP-IB instruments for remote operation (although nothing appears to happen to
the instruments until they are addresed to talk), or
10 REMOTE 719
which effects the HP-IB instrument located at addres 19, or
10 REMOTE 719, 721 , 726, 71S
which effects four instruments that have addresses 19, 21, 26, and 15.
