GPIB Operation
Primary address
The power supply ships from the factory with a GPIB address of 16. You can set the address
to a value of 0 to 30. Do not assign the same address to another device or to a controller that is
on the same GPIB bus.
The GPIB address is checked and/or changed from the menu (which is accessed by pressing
the MENU key).
NOTE
Table 1-3 shows the menu structure. Rules to navigate the menu follow the table.
Once in the menu, select GPIB ADDRESS. After setting the address value, make sure you
press ENTER to select it.
NOTE
The present address is displayed on power-up on the top line of the display.
Setting the GPIB timeout for responses
When using GPIB to control the power supply, make sure to set the GPIB timeout for
responses. The appropriate setting is dependent on the Model 2306 power supply configuration.
The GPIB timeout for responses is the duration the computer waits before timing out after
sending a request.
Example
Command
