Bill, there are two "sleep" commands:
1) Procedure EZGPIB_TimeSleep(HowLong:Double) 2) Procedure EZGPIB_TimeWaitForMultipleOf(Seconds:LongWord) where Howlong is in seconds and starts immediately after call. The second one is for you if you want to keep something synchronized to the computer's clock. EZGPIB_TimeWaitForMultipleOf(10) will sleep up to second 10, 20, 30, 50, 0 whatever is the closest. EZGPIB_TimeWaitForMultipleOf(60) will wait up to the start of the next minute. > I am trying to use EZGPIB with a HP 5370A and I want to trigger a > reading on a 10 to 30 second interval. > I want the use EZGPIB to do long term comparisons of various > oscillators, I am not interested (at this time) > on jitter less than tau < 1 seconds or so I fear, that THIS not only a matter of sleeping! Please explain your experiment more in detail. Are you doing frequency or phase measurements? 73s de Ulrich, DF6JB > -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- > Von: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Bill > Gesendet: Montag, 13.
