Program Comments. Lines 20 to 70: Declare variables and I/O paths
for instruments. I/O paths let you use a name for an instrument in
OUTPUT and ENTER statements,instead of a numeric address.
80 to 100: Assign values to the input test limits in mV.
110 to 130: Clear the instrument HP-IB interfaces.
140 to 160: Reset each instrument to a known measurement state.
170 to 190: Print the test report title.
200 to 310: Query measurement instruments’ identifications for test
traceability.
320 to 330: Connect the source output signal to the output
terminals.
340 to 380: Print results table header.
390 to 460: This is the main measurement loop. Line 400 contains
two commands.
:SOURce:VOLT sets the output level of the source.
*OPC? is used to signal that the preceding command has finished
executing. To make an accurate measurement,the source output
must be allowed to settle. When the output has settled, *OPC? places
