Rack and Stack Systems Computer Languages Rack and Stack Systems Computer Languages © Brooke Clarke 2000 - 2007 Overview of Instrument Control Languages & Experience Using Them Note that the test and measurement division of HP split of and is now called. Some of the references to HP below now are to Agilent. Rocky Mountain Basic During the nineteen seventy and eighties the control language we used was HP Rocky Mountain Basic (RMB) so called because it was from the Colorado division of HP located in the Rocky Mountains. Cyberghost Vpn Keygen Cracked Premium Version 2011 Gmc. It ran on HP Work Station (WS) computers that were based on the Motorola 68xxx microprocessors.

Rocky Mountain BASIC programming environment and. BASIC for Windows Agilent E2060C. E2060C BASIC for Windows is a port of the Rocky Mountain.

This was before there was an IBM PC. I have HP 217, 318 and 340C+ WS computers and many version levels of RMB. To this day the instruments that HP makes that have IBasic inside the instrument are using a version of RMB. Programs can be written in HP Basic for Windows that will also run in IBasic.

- - - used HP RMB WS computers I have developed all aspects of many dozens of ATE systems based on WS RMB. These have been used for testing microwave components and semiconductors both packaged and on wafer probes. A system was used to match the detectors for the. Oswego Utilities.

This was a third party software package of utilities that allowed things like restoring a 'protected' RMB program. The protection was provided by (AFAICR) toggling a bit near the start of each line of code.

When 'protected' a printout would show the line number and just '*'. Since RMB has commands that allow peek and poke directly into the memory space many neet things can be done by writing in RMB. For example you can read the boot ROM. So the combination of the Oswego utilities and the capability of RMB allowed some very cleaver things to be done. Interactive Test Generator HP E2000A It may be that I have the name wrong as I write this (it's 2014).

ITG seems to be about instrument drivers rather than test management. There was another software package that allow reducing the number of lines in a sub to one.

Because RMB included the ability to call subroutines and either explicitly pass parameters or make use of global parameters the subroutines could be easily added to a program.

For example to set the frequency of the HP 8350B would be one sub, to set it's power level another sub, and so on. These subroutines could include printer formatting commands like a Form Feet at the top and bottom of the sub so that when you printed the program each sub was on it's own sheet of paper. By limiting the complexity of each sub so that it fit on one sheet of paper it was also easy to troubleshoot a problem with that sub. The problem was there was a limit to the number of line numbers allowed so the complexity of any one program was limited.

One way around this line limit was to use ITG. It allowed compiling a sub into something that only used one line number, so instead of using over 50 lines for a sub it now took only one line. Some called 9000 series workstations Basic Plus This is an extension to RMB WS, HP Basic for Windows and HTBasic that adds a GUI. Without the Plus addition the interface is either a command prompt or soft key driven. With the Plus add on the application program has a lot of the look and feel of a modern windows application.
