You can generate a list of the test set's hardware configuration over the LAN or GPIB.
The GPIB query returns an unformatted character string that must be buffered and saved to an HTML file to provide formatted text.
GPIB Query
Use the following Basic example as a model to store the test set's configuration as an HTML file.
GPIB Example:
10 DIM Buf1$[20000],Buf2$[20000] ! This is the minimum space for the arrays
20 OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:CONFIGURE:INFORMATION:HARDWARE:VERBOSE?"
30 ENTER 714;Buf1$,Buf2$
40 CREATE "HW.htm",1 ! Create an HTML file
50 ASSIGN @File TO "HW.htm"
60 OUTPUT @File;Buf1$,Buf2$
70 END
In the future, the hardware configuration report may increase in length. More space would then need to be allocated for the arrays.
Display the HTML file using a web browser or HTML text editor.
