keyboard and “talk” to the Agilent 8922M/S.
As you type each command, the letters appear on the Agilent 8922M/S’s command
lines and the terminal/PC screen. The letters appear on the terminal/PC screen
because the Inst Echo field in the I/O CONFIGURE screen is set to On.

display area and on the terminal/PC’s screen because the IBASIC Echo field in
the CONFIGURE screen is On. Any non-graphic character that is printed to the
Agilent 8922M/S’s display area during a “print-to-screen” operation (CAT, LIST,
PRINT,..) is also printed to the terminal/PC.
