IEEE-488 PROGRAMMING
3.10.5 Combining Translator Words With
Keithley IEEE-488 Commands
One or more existing Translator words (including wild card
words) can be combined with Keithley IEEE commands
resulting in a Translator word that contains the commands
of the Translator words and the KeithIey IEEE commands.
The foimat for combing Translator words with Keithley
IEEE commands is shown in the following example:
“ALIAS SETUP3 NEW SETUPl NEW SETUP2 I’IZK ;”
Where:
SETUP3 is the new Translator word.
SETUI’I and SETUP2 are the existing words.
pIzy( is the Keithley IEEE command string.
NEW tells the instrument that SETUPI and SETUP2 are
Translator words.
When the Translator word SETUP3 is asserted over the
bus, the commands of the two Translator words and the
Keithley IEEE command string will be executed.
EYogramming Example-The following sequence will
create two Translator words and then combine them with
a Keithley IEEETommand string to form a new Translator
word:
The second and third statements create two Translator
words. The two Translator words are combined to form
the word SETUl’3.
3.10.6 Executing Translator Words and Keithley
IEEE Commands
Translator words (including wild card words) and Keithley
IEEE commands can be executed in the same command
shing. The format for doing this is demonstrated in the
following -pies:
“SETUl’l I’lZK’
“J3JNCTION 2 PlZlX”
When the first command string is sent over the bus, the
commands in SETUPI and the Keithley IEEE commands
will be executed. When the second string is sent, the se-
cond option of the wild card FUNCTION command and
the Keithley IEEE commands will be executed.
Rogramming~ ExamplkGfhe following program will assert
the commands of an existing Translator word and the stan-
dard Keithley IEEE commands over the bus:
The comixiands of SETUPl and the Keithley IEEE corn-
mands (PLZlX) will be sent over the bus.
3.10.7 SAVE
Translator words can be remembered by the instrument
as power up default words by sending the reserved word
SAVE. If SAVE is not sent, Translator words will be lost
when the instrument is turned off, Reset is run, or an SDC,
DCL or LCI is sent over the bus.
Whm SAVE is sent, the instrument also remembers if it
was in NEW or OLD. If the instrument is in NEW when
SAVE is sent, it will power up in NEW If the instrument
is in OLD when SAVE is sent, it will power up in OLD.
Programming lkampIe--With one or more Translator
words already defined, enter the following statements in-
to the computer to retain them as power up default words:
Current Translator words wilI become power up default
words.
3.10.8 LIST
LIST is a reserved word that can be used to list the existig
Translator words stored in temporary memory. The most
recent defined word will be listed fmt.
