7 BASIC Language for the 3458A
3458A BASIC Language Example Program
The following example program illustrates the use of the 3458AA's internal BASIC
language along with the use of new multimeter commands. This program example
uses a Series 300 BASIC computer for program development and for downloading
the program to the multimeter over the GPIB interface. The multimeter's bus
address is 22 and the computer's GPIB interface address is set to 700.
