2.2.1
SET (GPIB) DEVICE ADDRESS
(
SEE FIGURE 2-1)
The Device Address for the interface card is set by means of DIP switch S1, positions 1 through
5 (Figure 2-1). The Device Address is the permanent Listener or Talker address of the interface
card on the GPIB. It is factory preset to address 6. If a different Device Address is required in
your system, proceed as follows. There are 31 (1-31) possible choices (See Table 2-2).
1. Position the Interface Card as depicted in Figure 2-1.
2. The Device Address DIP switches are positions 1 through 5 (from right to left, Figure 2-1).
These switches are preset by Kepco to address 6. For other device addresses set them
according to Table 2-2.
2.2.2
POWER SUPPLY IDENTIFICATION
The BIT 4886 interface card is factory set to report power supply voltage as 200 Volts and cur-
rent as 20 Amperes. The interface card has nonvolatile random access memory which is used
to store these values. A special GPIB command of DIAG:PST is used to set the voltage and cur-
rent of the power supply which has the BIT 4886 card installed. Other commands can be used
to establish other operating characteristics such as the language and DCL operation. See
Appendix B and PAR. 4.2 for detailed procedures and instructions.
