Solartron 1250 - Learning a Program: from an External Device

Recording, Learning and Storing Facilities 1250 Frequency Response Analyzer
12-10 SH/1250/3
Caution: If [learn] is SELECTed and ENTERed for an already existing program, that
program is effectively erased (although the STATUS menu still shows it as a Learnt
Program).
Set up the menus etc. in the usual way. Note that no current value is shown, neither is
"not entered". This signifies that the menus are only being learnt, they are not setting
up the 1250.
When the final instruction has been entered, press ENTER again to retrieve the Display:
PROGRAM 1 learn mode
and press the QUIT soft key which correctly terminates the program.
To check which program numbers, if any, have been allocated, interrogate the STATUS
[OTHER] : FN/PROG menu (detailed in Chapter 11, Sections 1.2 and 1.4).
12.3.3 LEARNING A PROGRAM: FROM AN EXTERNAL DEVICE
A program may be learnt from an external device connected to the RS423 Serial
Interface port, for example a printer and keyboard:
1. Enter Program Learn Mode by sending the command:
*Ln
from the external keyboard, where, 'n' is the required program number.
2. Input the program line by line, using the command codes and arguments listed in
Chapter 13, Section 7.20. Examples of two programs are given below in Section
12.3.8.
Line numbers may be included, but they are optional and do not affect the order in
which the program instructions are executed. An exception to this is when the Jump
to Line n (JPn) command is used, in which case line 'n' must be numbered. Any line
numbers entered should be followed by a 'space' before the program command,
otherwise Error 01 ('unknown command') may be flagged when the line is entered.
3. To terminate the program enter the command:
* Q
The Learnt Program is now in the 1250's memory and may be executed or edited
from either the front panel or from the external device.
4. To obtain a listing of the nth program at the printer, send the command:
*Pn
from the keyboard.
