Program Comments
10: Assign the source’s HP-IB address to a variable.
20 to 50: Abort any HP-IB activity and initialize the HP-IB
interface.
60: Clear the computer’s display.
70: Set up the source for a sweeping state. Note the combination
of several commands into a single message. This single line is
equivalent to the following lines:
OUTPUT Source; “*RST”
OUTPUT Source ; “FREQ : MODE SWEepI’
OUTPUT Source; “FREQ : STARt 4 GHZ”
OUTPUT Source ; “FREQ : STOP 5 GHZ”
OUTPUT Source; “INIT: CONT ON”
80: Save this state into storage register 1.
