Assumptions
This guide assumes the Counter is correctly installed and interfaced to an
external computer. If it is not, and you intend to use the HP-IB, see the
IEEE HP-IB Interconnection information in Hewlett-Packard Company,
Tutorial Description of the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus, 1987. (See the
section in this chapter titled "Related Documentation" for ordering
information.) If you intend to use the RS-232 serial interface, see the
section in Chapter 3 titled "To Connect With the RS-232 Serial Interface."
As previously mentioned, this guide also assumes you are familiar with
the front-panel operation of the Counter. See the HP 53150A/151A/152A
Operating Guide for detailed information about front-panel operation.
Knowing how to control the Counter from the front panel and
understanding the measurements you need to perform makes the
programming task much easier.
