6 - 28 THE CPL PROTOCOL
meas_type string of characters, specifying the type of the measured value,
e.g. "Tr"
meas_value string of characters, specifying the measured value in floating
point notation, e.g. "98934E-09"
suffix_unit string of characters, specifying the unit of the measured value:
"V", "s" or "Hz"
Example: (of a single measurement)
100 PRINT #1,"QM",21 :’Query for frequency
measurement
110 GOSUB 1000 :’Sync on acknowledge
120 INPUT #1,TYPE$,MEAS$,SUFFIX$ :’Read measured frequency
130 PRINT "Measurement: ";TYPE$;MEAS$;SUFFIX$
:’Print measured frequency
Example: (of multiple measurements)
100 PRINT #1,"QM",10,"L" :’Query for delta-
voltage measurement
110 GOSUB 1000 :’Sync on acknowledge
120 INPUT #1,MEAS$ :’Read measured
delta-voltage
130 PRINT "Measurement :";MEAS$:’Print measured
delta-voltage
140 IF INKEY$="" THEN GOTO 120 :’Do next measurement
until a key is pressed
150 PRINT #1,CHR$(27) :’Send ESC
