Why do you let yourself be caught up in a discussion of language?
Seems to me the question is not much different than, "How is the test data affected if you use a FET rather than a bipolar transistor?" Seems to me that the question about meters, source, logger, and load can be simply answered by performing a measurement of voltage or current from a known source. By the way, was the guy entitled (I didn't use the word "qualified") to ask questions about the use of the language? Best regards, Rich :-) On 2/28/2013 3:09 PM, Brian Oconnell wrote:
CAB person - So back to this Python language thing? me - huh? CAB person - So how is the test data affected if you no longer write it all in C? me - none, the instrument just sees a command and responds, it never sees any elements of any programming language syntax. An ASCII string looks the same regardless of the language that was used to write the system. CAB person - How can the meters and source and logger and load not see the language? me - the equipment and the computer exchange serial streams of bit patterns that represent SCPI commands and data. The test equipment has no need to see any programming language, and has no ability to parse and no ability to interpret anything other than SCPI commands. CAB person - Whom is Skippy? Brian
