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 the source to its initial state for programming.
80: Set up the source power level using a compound message.
90: Query the value of the source’s CW frequency.
100: Enter the query response into the variable ‘F’. The response
always is returned in fundamental units, Hz in the case of
frequency.
110: Print the CW Frequency in MHz on the computer display.
120: Query the value of a Boolean function, POWER:STATE.
