Test
Instrument Control
Agilent 4155C and 4156C function
control:
Internal or external computer controls
the 4155C and 4156C functions via
the GPIB interface
Command sets:
SCPI command set
Agilent FLEX command set
Agilent 4145B command set
Program Memory:
Using the Agilent FLEX command set,
the user can store program code in
the 4155C or the 4156C. The maximum
number of subprograms is 255 (8 bit).
External instrument remote control:
Control external equipment via the
GPIB interface.
Instrument BASIC
Instrument BASIC is a subset of
HP BASIC.
Functions:
Arithmetic operation, binary opera
tion, string manipulation, logical
operation, array operation, program
flow control, event-initiated branch
ing, program editing and debugging
support, mass storage operation,
instrument control, real-time clock,
softkey operation, and graphics.
Agilent 4145B automatic sequence
program (ASP) typing aid:
4145B ASP-like syntax softkeys are
available in instrument BASIC. A
4145B ASP file cannot be read by
the 4155C or 4156C.
Remote control:
Instrument BASIC is remote
controllable from an external
computer via the GPIB interface.
Instrument BASIC memory area
(supplemental data):
Program (text) area: 16K (byte)
Variable/stack area: 500K (byte)
Common variable area: 600K (byte)
Note: The memory size for common variable is
decreased when hard copy or disk operation is
performed.
Trigger
Input:
External trigger input starts a sweep
or sampling measurement or can be
used as a trigger input for continuing
an Instrument BASIC program.
Input Level:
TTL level, negative or positive edge
trigger
Output:
External edge trigger outputs can
be generated by the start of a sweep
measurement, the start of each
sweep step in a staircase sweep, the
start of each pulse leading edge for
an SMU in pulse mode, and the
issuance of an an IBASIC trigger out
command execution. In addition, you
can set the trigger signal to be active
during the Stress Force State. If you
have a 41501A/B with PGU option,
you can output a synchronized
trigger output through the 41501A/B
trigger output.
Output Level:
TTL level, negative or positive logic
4145B Data Compatibility
and Syntax Commands
Setup and data file
Measurement setup and data from the
4145B can be loaded.
GPIB program
GPIB programs for the 4145B can be
used when the 4145B command set is
selected.
Note: There is a possibility that GPIB programs
for the 4145B will need to be modified.
