GPIB Interface
Each device on the GPIB (IEEE-488) interface must have a unique address. You can
set the instrument’s address to any value between 0 and 30.
The address is set to “
9
” when the instrument is shipped from the factory.
– Your computer’s GPIB interface card has its own address. Be sure to avoid
using the computer’s address for any instrument on the interface bus.
– The GPIB address is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change when
power has been off, after a Factory Reset (
*RST
command), or after an
Instrument Preset (
SYSTem:PRESet
command).
Front Panel Operation:
Utility > REMOTE I/O > GPIB > GPIB ADDRESS
To set the GPIB address, turn the knob (or use the number keypad) to select the
desired address.
Remote Interface Operation:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess
LAN Interface
By default, DHCP is enabled on the instrument, which may enable network
communication over the LAN interface (10BaseT/100BaseTx) without modifying
default settings. However, you may need to change several LAN configuration
parameters, including:
– DHCP
– IP Address
– Auto-IP
– Subnet Mask
– Default Gateway
– Host Name
– DNS Server
– Domain Name
