IBASIC Controller
The IBASIC Controller Screen
Example 8-1 Example
OUTPUT 714;"DISP TIBasic"
The TESTS (IBASIC Controller) screen is divided into several areas
which are used by the IBASIC controller for different purposes.
• The highlighted horizontal rectangle at the top is the IBASIC
command line. As the name implies IBASIC commands can be
executed from this line. Commands can be entered locally using the
rotary knob or remotely using serial port 9. A maximum of 100
characters may be entered into the command line.
• The side of the display is the softkey label area. The five highlighted
areas within the softkey label area correspond to the five USER keys
on the front panel of the Test Set. IBASIC programs can assign
tables to these keys and control program execution by using ON
KEY interrupts.
• The area in the center of the screen is the display screen for the
IBASIC controller. The IBASIC controller uses this area for,
displaying alpha, numeric, and graphic information, program
editing, program listing and so forth. This area operates as would
the CRT on an external HP 9000 Series 200/300 Workstation.
