HP-IB Service Mnemonic Definitions
Ah
service routine keystrokes can be made through HP-IB in one of the
following approaches:
w
sending equivalent remote HP-IB commands. (Mnemonics have been
documented previously with the corresponding keystroke.)
n
invoking the System Menu (MENUSYST) and using the analyzer mnemonic
(SCFTn),
where
“nn
represents the
softkey
number. (Softkeys are
numbered 1 to 8 from top to bottom.)
An HP-IB overview is provided in the “Compatible Peripherals” chapter in
the User’s
ouide.
HP-IB programmin
g
information is
also
provided in the
Programming Guide.
Invoking Tests Remotely
Many tests require a response to the displayed prompts. Since bit 1 of the Event
Status Register B is set (bit 1 = service routine waiting) any time a service
routine prompts the user for an expected response, you can send an appropriate
response using one of the following techniques:
n
Read event status register B to reset the bit.
n
Enable bit 1 to interrupt (ESNB[D]). See “Status Reporting” in the
Programming Guide.
w
Respond to the prompt with a
TESRn
co
mmand (see Tests Menu, at the
beginning of this chapter).
