Two Programs for the HP9836C Computer to Acquire Frequency or Voltage data from a Source.
Abstract
The objective of this work was to provide a computer program for the HP9836C which could read frequency data from the HP5345A Frequency Counter and plot these data on the computer screen, with the option of dumping the plots to the line printer. The data were also to be recorded on disk for further processing. While frequency was of primary interest here, the program should be useful for other types of data, such as phase locked loop error voltage or amplitude readings. Two programs have been written in Basic to obtain frequency data from the frequency counter. While the two programs are quite similar, the first one reads frequency, plots its, and stores it on the disk. The main difference in the second program is that it uses the interrupt technique, so that between frequency measurements it can do other things.
