Program 3: Retrieving saved data (system mode)
The following program demonstrates how to retrieve readings that are saved in a data file. In Program
1, SMU3 performed 80 measurements. The 80 current readings were then saved in a data file named
'PROG1'.
The following program assumes that data file 'PROG1' already exists. This data file is created by
Program 1.
MAXLEN = 2048;
addr = 17;
// Initialize card:
initialize(10, 0);
// Load data saved in file named "PROG1":
send(addr, "GT 'D PROG1'", &status);
// Output data; 'IC' is the measure channel (SMU3) used by
// Program 1:
send(addr, "DO 'IC'", &status);
// Obtain data:
enter(recv, MAXLEN, &len, addr, &status);
