Step 6. Set Up the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB)
The PNA uses the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) to communicate with the test
set.
NOTE
There are 31 GPIB addresses, numbered 0 to 30. However, there may be
the occasion that you need to change the GPIB address for test equipment.
GPIB addresses are set either using rear panel switches or using the
equipment firmware. Refer to the PNA or PLTS online help for more
information.
1.
Connect a GPIB cable from the rear panel GPIB connector on the PNA to the rear
panel GPIB connector on the test set.
If the PNA has two GPIB ports, connect the test set to the CONTROLLER GPIB port.
