A typical program fragment includes an OUTPUT command and an ENTER command. The
OUTPUT command sends a program message (command string) to the Model 2016 THD
Multimeter. If the program message includes a query command, then the ENTER command is
required to get the response message from the Model 2016 THD Multimeter. The ENTER
command addresses the Model 2016 THD Multimeter to talk. The following example program
fragment demonstrates how OUTPUT and ENTER commands are used. Note that the
commands assume address 16, which is the factory-set address of the Model 2016 THD
Multimeter.
PRINT #1, "output 16; :func 'volt:ac'; func?"
PRINT #1, "enter 16"
If you wish to display the response message on the CRT, the computer will have to read the
message and then “print” it to the CRT display as follows:
LINE INPUT #2, A$
PRINT A$
The following programming example shows how all the above statements are used together.
The program fragment is shown in bold typeface.
OPEN "ieee" FOR OUTPUT AS #1 'Open driver
OPEN "ieee" FOR INPUT AS #2 'Open driver
PRINT #1, "interm crlf" 'CRLF terminator
PRINT #1, "output 16;:func 'volt:ac'; func?"
'Select ACV and query
PRINT #1, "enter 16" 'Get response message
LINE INPUT #2, A$ 'Read response message
PRINT A$ 'Display message
