TESTS (Save/Delete Procedure)
Procedure Library
This field is used to select whether the new test procedure will use the current
test’s library or no library. All HP 11807 Test Procedures must be saved with a
test library. Other IBASIC programs may not require an associated library file.
Library files contain all of the channel, parameter, and test name information used
with the code file. If an HP 11807 memory card is catalogued, the library file is
preceded by a lower-case l.
Select Procedure Location
This field is used the select where a new procedure will be saved, or the location
from which a procedure will be deleted. Procedures can be saved to, or deleted
from, disk, card, or RAM.
Operating Considerations
Procedure files contain a subset of the library file. This is where you save all of
your own frequency, parameter, test sequence, specification, and system
configuration information. A procedure file is not a directly-executable file for HP
11807 tests; it requires the code and library files to be present before running.
To save a file to an external disk drive, you must enter the drive’s HP-IB address
into the
External Disk Specification field on the TESTS (External
Devices) screen.
