Direct I/O" on page 147 and configure the instrument before
you continue.

The down arrow next to WRITE shows a menu of
transactions: READ, WRITE, EXECUTE, and WAIT. To write
data to an instrument, use the default selection. Open the
object menu and consult Help to find out about each action.

FORMAT, and EOL ON. Click the input field labeled a, type
"AM 5 VO" (including the quotes), and click OK.
You should see the transaction WRITE TEXT "AM 5 VO" EOL as
shown in
Figure 94. The text in quotation marks is the
command that will be sent to the HP3325B when the
program runs.
