Programming Examples

Limit Line and Data Point Special Functions

Example:

Sending SELSEG3 and OUTPSEGM may return the following:

3, 1.900000000E+09, −9.900000E−01, 2.123456789E+09, 2.123456E+00

For an explanation of these results, see Table 7-17.

Table 7-17 is an interpretation of the min/max data returned using the SELSEG and

OUTPSEGM commands.

NOTE A new Line Feed character <

is inserted after the segment number and

after each data pair.

Output Minimum and Maximum Point for All Segments

Three GPIB commands allow the user to dump the min-or-max or min-and-max values for

all active segments:

• OUTPSEGAM: outputs min and max data for each active segment.

• OUTPAMIN: outputs the min data for each active segment.

• OUTPAMAX: outputs the max data for each active segment.

The OUTPSEGAM output consists of:

• The total number of segments being reported.

• The following data for each segment:

❏ segment number

❏ min stimulus

❏ min value

❏ max stimulus

❏ max value
