1 Configure the GPIB port as described in this chapter, ‘GPIB Configuration For
Programming” on page 8-5.
2 Access the IBASIC Controller screen.
Downloading A Program Into the Agilent 8922M/S

change the address in the following procedure to match your instrument’s address.
1 Load the IBASIC program to be downloaded into your controller.
2 Enter these commands to transfer the program to the Agilent 8922M/S:
10 DIM LINE$[200], FILE_NAME$[120]
20 Addr=714
30 INPUT ”NAME OF (ASCII) IBASIC FILE TO DOWN- LOAD?”, FILE_NAME
$
40 ASSIGN @FILE TO FILE_NAME$; FORMAT ON
50 ON END @FILE GOTO DONE
60 OUTPUT Addr;”PROG:DEL”
70 OUTPUT Addr;”PROG:DEF #0”
80 WHILE (1)
90 ENTER @FILE; LINE$
100 OUTPUT Addr; LINE$
110 END WHILE
