Remote Interface Configuration
This section gives information on configuring the remote interface.
For information on programming the function generator over the remote
interface, see chapter 4, “Remote Interface Reference,” starting on
page 125.
HP-IB Address
Each device on the
HP-IB
(
IEEE
-488) interface must have a unique
address. You can set the function generator’s address to any value
between 0 and 30. The current address is displayed momentarily on the
front panel when you turn on the function generator.
The address is set to
“10” when the function generator is shipped from the factory.
The HP-IB address can be set from the front-panel only.
•
The address is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change
when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
•
Your
HP-IB
bus controller has its own address. Be sure to avoid using
the bus controller’s address for any instrument on the interface bus.
Hewlett-Packard controllers generally use address “21”.
