Keithley 6487 - SRQ When Buffer Fills with 200 Readings

E-8 IEEE-488 and SCPI Conformance Information Model 6487 Reference Manual
SRQ when buffer fills with 200 readings
The following QuickBasic program (Figure E-2) will store 200 readings in the buffer.
When the buffer fills to the set amount (200 readings), an SRQ will occur and a message
will be displayed on the computer to indicate the event.
