PROGram Subsystem
PROGram Subsystem
Introduction
The PROGram Subsystem provides a set of commands which allow an external
controller to generate and control an IBASIC program within the Test Set. The
PROGram Subsystem in the Test Set is a limited implementation of the PROGram
Subsystem defined in the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments
(SCPI) Standard. The PROGram Subsystem commands, as implemented in the
Test Set, can be used to
• download an IBASIC program from an external controller into the Test Set
• upload an IBASIC program from the Test Set into an external controller
• control an IBASIC program resident in the Test Set from an external controller
• set or query program variables within an IBASIC program which is resident in the Test
Set
• execute IBASIC commands in the Test Set’s IBASIC Controller from an external
controller
