HP 3314A Operating Manual

PROGRAMMING ARB WAVEFORMS
If you have numerous or comp licated ARB waveforms , you may wish to use computer
programs to store and build them rather than using the 3314A front panel. This sec-
tion contains examples of code that accomplish different tasks useful for ARB opera-
tion. They are written for an -hp- 9000 Series 200/300 computer using the BASIC 4.0
programming language.
The limit of 160 vectors allowed in ARB makes this storage method useful. If you need
to save several waveforms with more than 160 vectors among them, this method
prevents you from manually recording and re-entering vector settings .
By
modifying the follow ing programs, you can:
- read
vector values from the 3314A to arrays, then store them to a host computer's
mass storage device.
- enter
vector parameters directly to an array, then write them to a 3314A ARB
register.
- design a
custom waveform and store vector parameters to a mass storage device.
- automatically generate vector values for waveforms represented by equations.
