remove this message rocky mountain basic paradigm imperative developer hewlett packard website www techsoft de german documents htbasic html rocky mountain basic also rmb or rm basic is a dialect of the basic programming language created by hewlett packard it was especially popular for control of automatic test equipment using gpib it has several features which are or were unusual in basic dialects such as event driven operation extensive external i o support complex number support and matrix manipulation functions today rmb is mainly used in environments where an investment in rmb software hardware or expertise already exists history and implementations edit the origins of rocky mountain basic can be traced to hewlett packard s facilities in colorado since colorado is located in the rocky mountains this variation of basic was dubbed rocky mountain basic to differentiate it from the other basic dialects developed within the company it is unclear if the rocky mountain basic name was original to hp or came from outside but hp keysight use the term in their own documentation as well as the more formal hp basic product name the hp 9830a introduced in 1972 was the top of the 9800 line programmable calculator line which was the first hp computer which fit on a desktop to have a basic interpreter in read only memory rom the interpreter could be extended with roms for features like mass storage plotter graphics string variables and matrix operations it had a one line led panel for line editing but was followed in the late 1970s by the faster hp 9835 9845 desktop computers with full screen crt displays these were amongst the first workstations aimed at scientists and engineers for both technical computing and instrumentation control these were followed by the hp 9826 and hp 9836 computers which were the leading models of the hp 9800 series of computers all four of these computers ran versions of rocky mountain basic these computers were often used as controllers for hp automatic test equipment connected via the hp instrument bus hp ib hp wanted to provide a programming language that would be friendly to the engineers and scientists who used such test equipment the basic programming language was chosen as it was already intended to be easy for novices knowledgeable users could also program them in assembly language or a version of pascal early implementations of rmb software on the hp 9000 platform were called hp basic ws basic ws ran stand alone it provided operating system os integrated development environment editor and debugger and the language interpreter later hp implemented rmb on top of the hp ux operating system and called it basic ux basic ux 300 ran on series 300 hardware and basic ux 700 ran on series 700 hardware basic ws basic ux 300 and basic ux 700 were last updated to fix year 2000 date related issues as technology advanced hp was able to embed rmb implementations directly in the test equipment the capabilities of these embedded implementations varied these implementations went by a variety of names including hp instrument basic and board test basic bt basic hp produced an rmb implementation for microsoft windows called hp instrument basic for windows however it never enjoyed the success of their other rmb products another company transera of orem utah created a clone implementation of rmb which they called high tech basic or ht basic now htbasic meant to run on ibm pc hardware hp later licensed ht basic from transera corporation re branded it and sold it as hp basic for windows it was unrelated to the hp produced hp instrument basic for windows as of 2015 transera is still maintaining and updating htbasic with fixes and new features the current version is 10 0 3 although htbasic is fundamentally an interpreted language a compiler is available test measurement systems inc also known as tams of loveland colorado acquired hp basic ws and basic ux 300 product responsibility in 1998 tams then sold and supported legacy versions of basic ws and basic ux tams licensed basic ux 700 from agilent technologies and ported rmb to both hp ux 11i and red hat enterprise linux the hp ux 11i implementation was known as basic for 11i or basic ux 11i the red hat enterprise linux version was known as basic for linux basic lx or rmblx tams ceased operating on march 31 2016 hp retained basic ux 700 e2045c basic for hp ux 10 20 until spinning off their instrument division as agilent technologies basic ux 700 on hp ux 10 20 product responsibility went with agilent technologies who eventually dropped support for it agilent referred customers to either transera for basic for windows or to tams for basic ws basic ux or basic for linux see also edit hp time shared basic references
