To Enable System Controller
To allow this instrument to control external GPIB devices, perform the following
procedure. After the procedure, you cannot control the instrument from an external
computer.
1. If the EasyEXPERT software is running, terminate it as shown below:
a. Select the menu function File > Exit on the EasyEXPERT main screen.
b. Click [x] at the upper right corner of the Start EasyEXPERT button.
2. Select All Programs > Keysight IO Libraries Suite > Keysight Connection
Expert from the Start menu. Keysight Connection Expert window appears.
3. At the Instrument I/O on this PC area, select GPIB0, and click the Change
Properties... button. Keysight 82350 PCI GPIB Interface - GPIB0 window
appears.
4. Set the GPIB Address value to 21 that is the typical address number for the
system controller.
5. Check the System Controller box.
6. Remove the check from the Auto-discover instruments connected to this
interface box.
This disables the automatic device detection. So the Connection Expert cannot
detect the instruments connected to the GPIB interface by itself.

8. On the Reboot Required dialog box, click the Reboot Now button, and reboot
the mainframe.
NOTE To Disable System Controller
To disable the system controller, change the steps 4 and 5 for setting the GPIB
Address value to

and perform the procedure to the step 8.
