HTBasic 9.5

HTBasic is a Windows-based development environment and interpreter designed for automated test and measurement. It implements the HP/Agilent Rocky Mountain BASIC dialect, making it well suited for maintaining and migrating legacy HP BASIC programs to modern PCs while keeping tight, deterministic control of instruments.

Key capabilities:

• Instrument I/O: control of test equipment over GPIB/IEEE‑488 (HPIB), serial (RS‑232), USB, and LAN via installed VISA libraries (e.g., VXI‑11), with straightforward SCPI command handling.
• Language and tools: structured BASIC tailored for instrumentation, with an interactive console, integrated editor, step-through debugging, and robust error handling for device sessions.
• Data and visualization: numeric/string processing, file I/O and logging, basic plotting/graphics, and simple report generation.
• Compatibility and migration: high-level compatibility with Rocky Mountain BASIC to ease porting of legacy HP workstation code.
• Deployment: programs can be executed on systems with the HTBasic runtime, simplifying distribution across labs and production lines.

Typical uses include automating benchtop measurements, building manufacturing test sequences, running calibration procedures, and long-duration data acquisition. It’s aimed at test engineers, metrology teams, and organizations with existing HP BASIC assets that need a stable, scriptable environment for instrument control on Windows.
