Program Comments

10: Assign the source's HP-IB address to a variable.
20 to 50: Abort any HP-IB activity and initialize the HP-IB
interface.
60: Set the source to its initial state for programming. The *RST
state is not the same as the PRESET state. For complete details
of the instrument state at *RST, see "SCPI Command Summary,"
in Chapter 2.
70: Select the frequency mode to be SWEEP instead of the default
sweep mode of "CW" that was selected with *RST.
80: Set the source start frequency to 4 GHz.
90: Set the source stop frequency to 7 GHz. Note the optional
usage of the short-form mnemonic, "FREQ".
100: Set the source's power level to -5 dBm.
110: Set the sweeptime to 500 ms. Notice that upper/lower case in
commands does not matter. Also spaces before the suffix ("MS")
are not required in SCPI.
120 and 130: Set markers 1 and 2 to a fixed value. Notice that the
value for marker 2 does not end with a frequency suffix. Hertz is a
default terminator and is understood.
140: Wait until the source has completed setting up the commands
that have been sent so far before turning on the output.
150: The ENTER statement causes the program to wait here until
the source responds to the previous *OPC? with a '1'.
