the others are high. The TEST position of P3015 dis-

lines are driven by the various memory devices on the
bus as they are addressed.
Examining the data lines can locate shorted or open
lines; i.e., lines inactive at high, low, or in-between

If the microcomputer performs the power-up self-
test, but fails to properly control the instrument, the
instrument bus interface may be faulty. Select the
instrument bus test by setting the option switch as
shown in Figure 6-26. The microcomputer continuously
writes to the instrument bus in a repetitive manner, so
the instrument does not operate normally.

Because the DATA command changes the
status of internal hardware, its use may

could cause instrument damage.
These commands and queries are transmitted to the
Spectrum Analyzer with the PRINT statement. The
spectrum analyzer response to a query is input into a

able is formed by ending the variable name with a dollar
sign ($). Examples: A$, X I $.
