<p>A method for controlling at least one instrument (2) is provided which includes the steps of: a) creating a shared memory (201-204); b) selecting an I/O interface (105 and 106) for communicating with an instrument (2); c) inputting into a document, as text, a set of vendor-supplied instructions for said instrument (2); d) inputting into the document, as text, a set of values for run time variables for said instrument (2); e) storing the text of the document in the shared memory (201-204); f) accessing the shared memory (201-204) and translating, with an interpreter, the text of the document into digital signals for communicating with the instrument via the I/O interface (105 and 106); g) controlling the instrument via the translated digital signal. The instrument described herein can be a DMM (4) or other laboratory instrument, or can include an embedded device which can be a module which includes a parallel port (2017), DIO (3017), DAC, ADC, serial port, or GPIB interface for communicating with a downstream device.</p> |
