IBASIC Controller
Method #1. Program Development on an External BASIC Language Computer
After the above commands complete the program code will be in the
Test Set ready to run. If any bugs are detected when the program is
run, the program can be uploaded back into the external BASIC
language controller to correct the error. Alternately the full screen
IBASIC EDIT function through RS-232 can be used to correct the error
(refer to “Method #2. Developing Programs on the Test Set Using the
IBASIC EDIT Mode” on page 250 for details).
After the program is working properly in the Test Set IBASIC
environment, it should be stored for backup purposes.
Uploading Programs from the Test Set to an External
BASIC Controller through HP-IB
To upload a program from the Test Set to an external BASIC language
controller through HP-IB the following program, which uses a
command from the PROGram subsystem to initiate the upload, must be
running on the external BASIC language controller. The uploaded
program is stored to a file specified by the user.
In the following program the external BASIC language controller is a
PC running TransEra HT BASIC. The file is stored to the C:\HTB386
directory. If the external BASIC language controller is an HP 9000
Series 200/300 Workstation, modify the mass storage volume specifier
appropriately. After running the program, the uploaded program code
will be in the designated file. Use the GET command to retrieve the file
for editing.
