Preparing for Use
Connecting to a GPIB Server
Connecting to a GPIB Server
Connect a cable to the standard GPIB connector on the rear panel of the
instrument. The GPIB can then be used to send SCPI commands to
control the instrument and to return measurement data to the
computer.
The GPIB address can be queried and set from the front panel key
menus by pressing
System, Config I/O, GPIB Address. This can also be
done remotely using SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR.
Pressing
Preset will not change the GPIB address. It is persistent and
will stay at the last user-defined setting. However, you can return the
instrument to its original factory defaults by pressing
System, Restore
Sys Defaults
. If you want to use a GPIB address other than 18 after
restoring defaults, you will have to re-set the address.
