Set the GPIB address
The GPIB address value is set to 18 at the factory. You can set the address to any address between
0 and 30 if it is unique in the system. This address cannot conflict with an address that is assigned to
another instrument or to the GPIB controller.
GPIB controllers are usually set to 0 or 21. To be safe, do not configure any instrument to have an
address of 0 or 21. To change the controller address, see the documentation for the controller.
The address is saved in nonvolatile memory, so it does not change when a reset command is sent or
when the power is turned off and then turned on again.
To set the GPIB address from the front panel:
1. Press the
MENU
key.
2. Under System, select
Communication
. The SYSTEM COMMUNICATION window opens.
3. Select the
GPIB
tab.
4. Next to Address, select the number. The Set GPIB Address dialog box is displayed.
5. Enter the address.
6. Select
OK
.
