Set up communications on the 4200A-SCS
On the 4200A-SCS, you need to set the communications through the prober configuration file.
The configuration file for use with serial communications is shown below. To configure the prober for
use with a GPIB communications setup, use a text editor to comment out (#) the lines after
"Configuration for PA200 probers" and activate the lines (remove the #) after "Configuration for direct
GPIB probers." Be sure to only activate the lines that start with
PROBER_1_...
.
