Controlling the Analyzer
HP Instrument BASIC can control the analyzer (itself) through the \internal" HP-IB bus. This
means that an analyzer with HP Instrument BASIC includes both a controller and an analyzer
in the same instrument. They are connected through an internal HP-IB bus.
Note
The select code of the internal HP-IB interface is 8, and the HP-IB address of
the analyzer can be any number from 0 to 30. In this manual, we use \800" for
the device selector of the analyzer.
For more information on HP-IB addresses and device selectors, see \Device
Selectors" in the
Instrument BASIC Users Handbook
HP Instrument BASIC Interfacing Techniques
and \Available I/O Interfaces and Select
of the
HP
Codes" in Chapter 8.

Saving and Getting Programs
This chapter describes how to save and get programs to or from the built-in exible disk drive
and RAM disk memory.Topics of this chapter are:
Saving programs (SAVE)
Listing le names (CAT)
Getting programs (GET)
If you are using the disk drive for the rst time, see \To Save and Recall" in Chapter 6 of the
Task Reference.
Note
HP Instrument BASIC on the analyzer cannot communicate with an external
disk drive.
Note
The analyzer can use either LIF (Logical Interchange F
ormat) or DOS (Disk
Operating System) formatted disks. The instrument automatically detects the
disk format. It can use most of the same operations for either disk format.
Saving Programs (SAVE)
1. To use the built-in disk drive, insert a 2DD disk or 2HD disk into the disk drive
2. If you are using a exible disk for the rst time
, set the disk format to LIF or DOS and
initialize the disk.
Note
Note
Floppy disks can be initialized in the 2HD format only.
When the analyzer is turned on, the RAM disk memory is automatically

Program I/O
This chapter describes how to write programs that use the LCD, the I/O port, the external
RUN/CONT connector in the analyzer, and the DOS le system.
Topics covered in this chapter are:
Graphics
Using the external RUN/CONT connector
File system exceptions
Using the I/O port in BASIC programs
Graphics
HP Instrument BASIC adds graphics capability to the analyzer.You can draw pictures on the
LCD display independent of the grids and traces.
The analyzer has two screens, the instrument screen and the graphics screen. These two
screens are always displayed together on the LCD and are not separately selectable
instrument screen consists of a trace display area and a softkey label area. The HP Instrument
BASIC editor is also displayed on the trace display area. The graphics screen covers the
entire instrument screen as shown in Figure 6-1. The graphics screen is like an independent
transparent overlay in front of the instrument screen. Therefore, you can draw gures in both
the trace display and softkey label areas.
. The
Figure 6-1. Screen Structure
Program I/O 6-1
Each point on the graphics screen is addressable using a coordinate address as shown in
Figure 6-1. The bottom left corner is the origin (0,0) and the top right corner is the maximum
horizontal and vertical end points (610,420). The MOVE and DRAW statement parameters are
specied using these coordinate values. Because the aspect ratio of a graphics screen is 1, you
need not adjust the aspect ratio when drawing gures.
HP Instrument BASIC Graphics Commands
The analyzer's HP Instrument BASIC has three graphics commands; MOVE, DRAW, and
GCLEAR.
MOVE
DRAW
GCLEAR
Moves the pen from its current position to the specied coordinates.
Draws a line from the current pen position to the specied coordinates.
Clears the graphics screen, moves the pen from its current position to the
origin (0,0), and selects pen 1.
Note

MOVE

Example of Graphics Programming
This section describes an example of a simple program for drawing lines on the graphics screen.
Drawing a Straight Line
The following HP Instrument BASIC program will draw a line from coordinate (50,200) to
coordinate (300,200) on the display.
GCLEAR ! INITIALIZE GRAPHICS MODE
MOVE 50,200 ! MOVE PEN TO COORDINATE (50,200)
DRAW 300,200 ! DRAW A LINE TO COORDINATE (300,200)
END
Drawing a Circle
Trying to express all graphical images using only straight lines is tedious, slow, and dicult.
This example describes a subprogram you can use to draw a circle
passing the center coordinates and the radius as arguments to the following subroutine
subroutine can be used as a base for drawing arcs
, setting dierent values for Theta, etc.

Y=INT(SIN(Theta)*R+Centy) ! NEXT Y COORDINATE ON CIRCLE
DRAW X,Y ! DRAW LINE TO NEXT POINT ON CIRCLE
NEXT Theta ! UNTIL STARTING POINT IS REACHED
SUBEND !
Using the External RUN/CONT Connector
You can use the RUN or CONT commands in a program by inputting a TTL-compatible signal to
the External RUN/CONT connector on the rear panel. At the negative-going edge of a pulse
more than 20s wide (Tp) in the LOW state will trigger RUN or CONT.
Figure 6-2. RUN/CONT Trigger Signal
File System Exceptions
The analyzer supports both the LIF and DOS le formats. When using an LIF format disk, the
CREATE and CREATE DIR commands will generate an error.
Because the analyzer does not support an external disk drive, the MASS STORAGE IS
(MSI) statement cannot specify volumes other than the built-in disk drive (volume specier
\INTERNAL,4", the default volume) and RAM disk memory (volume specier \MEMORY
,0").
Program I/O 6-3
Using the I/O Port in BASIC Programs
The HP Instrument BASIC can directly control the I/O port without using HP-IB commands.
This is faster than using the
INP8IO?
and
OUTP8IO
HP-IB commands.

Reads the 4-bit data from the I/O Port and returns a decimal value.
Outputs the decimal value of the 8-bit data to the OUT 0 to 7 lines of

Special Features and Advanced Techniques
The topics covered in this chapter are :
Autoloading and running a program automatically (AUTOST)
On Key Label function
Increasing program speed
Autoloading and Running a Program Automatically (AUTOST)
The analyzer allows you to create a special program le called AUTOST. This program is
automatically loaded and run every time the analyzer is turned ON.
7
When you use this capability, the disk on which you saved A
UTOST must be inserted in the
disk drive before the analyzer is turned ON.
The system rst checks to see if there is an A
UTOREC le on the disk. If there is, the system
reads the AUTOREC le to set up the analyzer, and then loads and runs the AUTOST program.
(For more information on AUTOREC, see \Auto Recall Function" in Appendix D of the
Function Reference.)
On Key Label Function

labels you dene will appear when pressing the

Increasing Program Speed
Because the analyzer's CPU interleaves processing measurements and executing a program,
program execution speed depends on the measurement conditions. The display process also
requires processing time.

delimiters between the day, month, and year. However, any non-alphanumeric character
except the negative sign (0), may be used as the delimiter.

Table B-1. HP-IB Commands for EXECUTE
SING
OUTPDATA?
OUTPMEMO?
INPT?
Example Commands
(1) Commands with no parameter and no query
EXECUTE "SING"
Semantics
(1) Measurement Trigger and Getting Data
The HP 4352B executes
EXECUTE "SING"
to sweep once. Execution of the next statement
is suppressed until the sweep is completed. Therefore, the completion of the sweep need
not be supervised using a status register.
When
EXECUTE "SING"
is executed,
C=READIO(8,0)
gets measurement data.
Example
100 EXECUTE "SING"
110 C=READIO(8,0)
Note
When both an external controller and HP instrument BASIC are used at the
same time, the
EXECUTE
command occasionally does not terminate normally.If
the external controller queries the instrument while the HP 4352B is sweeping
when triggered by
EXECUTE "SING"
, the
EXECUTE
command does not terminate
normally (In the worst case, a system halt occurs).
B-4 BASIC Commands Specic to HP 4352B
To avoid this problem, it is necessary to use an SRQ interrupt technique that
uses the status register. In this case, the external controller waits to send query
commands until HP Instrument BASIC completes the execution of the
command.

Trigger mode must be HOLD mode when
