REMOTE CONTROL
The 8250A includes the following remote interfaces.
•
GPIB interface
•
USB interface
Both interfaces cannot be used at the same time. Select either interface.
4.1
Selecting a Remote Interface
•
The remote interface can be selected from MENU on the front panel.
•
Because the setting of the selected interface is saved in the nonvolatile memory, the setting does not
change even if the power is turned off or the interface is reset.
•
The GPIB address for the GPIB interface and USB.ID for the USB interface can be set to identify each
instrument if two or more instruments are connected on the interface.
•
The GPIB address and USB.ID can be checked in the menu item and when the power turns on.
•
The remote interface is set to "GPIB" when the instrument is shipped from the factory.
•

Response to the *IDN? Command
This instrument has changed its model name from “ADCE8250A” to “8250A.” Accordingly, the response
to the *IDN? command has also been changed. Note that an old model name response can also be set to
maintain the compatibility with the application software.
The new model name is set when the instrument is shipped.
A new or old model name response setting does not change by the initialization command or the factory
shipment initialization operation.
The new model name response to the *IDN? command is applied to software revision B00 or later.
