364 Appendix A Command Reference
GPIB
GPIB address
Class GPIB port control
Description Sets the address of the generator on the GPIB port. The address change takes affect as
soon as the command is issued. The new address setting will be maintained until 1) the
address is changed another GPIB command, 2) the unit is re-initialized with an INIT
command or 3) the unit is re-initialized because the power-up self-test found corrupted
data in battery backed system memory. In cases 2 and 3, the GPIB address will revert to
the address set on the GPIB address switches, if the unit has them. The address reverts to
15 if the unit does not have GPIB address switches. The GPIB? query returns the current
GPIB address of the unit.
