Chapter 3, Operating Overview
Passing Instrument Control
This example is based upon having an HP 9000 Series 300 Workstation as the
external controller connected to the Test Set through the HP-IB bus. Further, it
assumes that the HP-IB interface in the HP 9000 Controller is set to the default
select code of 7 and address of 21.
1. If a program is running on the HP 9000 Workstation, PAUSE the program.
2. Put the Test Set in local mode (press the LOCAL key on the front panel).
3. Configure the Test Set to print to the HP-IB printer using the PRINT CONFIGURE
screen.
4. Configure the Test Set to display the screen to be printed.
5. From the keyboard of the HP 9000 Workstation type in and execute the following com-
mand:
OUTPUT 714;"*PCB 21"
This command tells the Test Set the address of the Controller to pass control back to.
6. From the keyboard of the HP 9000 Workstation type in and execute the following com-
mand:
PASS CONTROL 714
This command passes control to the Test Set.
7. Put the Test Set in local mode (press the LOCAL key on the front panel).
8. Press SHIFT, then TESTS on the front panel of the Test Set to print the screen.
9. After the Test Set finishes printing the screen it will automatically pass control back to
the HP 9000 Workstation.
