Chapter 7, IBASIC Controller
PROGram Subsystem
:EXECute <program_command> The :EXECute command is used to execute, from an
external controller, an IBASIC program command in the Test Set’s built-in IBASIC
Controller.
<program_command> is string data representing any legal IBASIC command. If the
string data does not represent a legal IBASIC command, an
IBASIC Error: -285
Program syntax error
is generated.
Any IBASIC program in the Test Set must be in either the PAUSed or STOPped state
before the external controller issues the :EXECute <program_command> command. If
the IBASIC program is in the RUN state, an
IBASIC Error: -284 Program
currently running
is generated.
Syntax
PROGram[:SELected]:EXECute <delimiter><program_command><delimiter>
The following notation is used in the command description:
<delimiter> = IEEE 488.2 <string data> delimiter, single quote or double quote, must be the
same.
Example
OUTPUT 714;"PROGram:SELected:EXECute ’CLEAR SCREEN’"
or
OUTPUT 714;"PROG:EXEC ’CLEAR SCREEN’"
