SETTING THE 4863's GPIB ADDRESS
The 4863 can be set to any unused GPIB primary addresses between 0 and
30. GPIB addresses 0 and 21 should be avoided as they are customarily
reserved for use by the GPIB bus controllers. If the dual primary address
mode is selected, the lower (command) address range is limited from 0 to
29. If the secondary address mode is selected, the primary address range is
limited from 1 to 30. The 4863 can not recognize secondary addresses when
set to primary address 0. The selected address setting and mode is stored
in the 4863's Flash. Follow the directions in Sections 2.5 or 2.6 to change
the 4863's GPIB address. Note that the GPIB address change takes place
immediately so any subsequent commands must use the new address and/
or address mode. The GPIB address and mode must be saved in Flash to be
a permanent change.
The 4863 is set to single address mode and primary address 4 and when
shipped from the factory.
