Getting Started
2.10.1 Simple Programming
Functions such as DCO TS and ACYL TS may be used from the keyboard or in BASIC programs. To
illustrate this, build a simple program that displays the average of 10 voltage measurements from
multiplexor channel 3 in slot O in the HP 3421 A. NOTE: depending on the configuration of your
HP 3421A, this channel number may need to vary.
Input/Result

Create and name a new BASIC program file called

The program displays the result.
This program will work regardless of the position of the HP 3421A in the loop, but does assume that a
multiplexer assembly is in slot O.
