Preparing the Test Set for GPIB Control
1. If other GPIB devices are in the system, attach an GPIB cable from the Test Set’s rear-
panel GPIB connector to any one of the other devices in the test system.
2. Access the I/O CONFIGURE screen and perform the following steps:
a. Set the Test Set’s GPIB address using the
GPIB Adrs
field (
see "Addressing"
on page 34
).
b. Set the Test Set’s GPIB Controller capability using the
Mode
field.
•
Talk&Listen
configures the Test Set to be controlled through GPIB with an
external controller. The Test Set has Active Controller capability (take control/
pass control) in this mode.
•
Control
configures the Test Set to be the system controller. Use this setting
if the Test Set will be the only controller on the GPIB. Selecting
Control
automatically makes the Test Set the active controller.
NOTE:
Only one active controller is allowed on the GPIB at one time!
3. If an GPIB printer is or will be connected to the Test Set’s rear-panel GPIB connector,
perform the following steps:
a. Access the PRINTER CONFIGURE screen.
b. Select one of the supported GPIB printer models using the
Model
field.
c. Set the
Printer Port
field to GPIB.
d. Set the printer address using the
Printer Address
field.
