Explanation
Enter the following settings to control an external device with the instrument’s program
function.
Setting the GP-IB2 Port Address
When in Addressable mode, set the instrument's address within the following range.
0 to 30
Each device that can be connected via GP-IB has its own unique GP-IB address. This
address allows each device to be distinguished from other devices. Therefore, make
sure not to set the same address on the instrument as any of the other devices. Also, set
addresses other than the instrument’s GP-IB address (MY ADDRESS).
Turning ON the System Controller Function
Turn ON this function to control an external device with the instrument's program
function.
Setting the TLS Address
Specify the GP-IB address of the turnable laser source to be controlled by the instrument.
Note
• A controller such as a PC that is connected to the GP-IB2 port cannot remotely control the
AQ6370C/AQ6373/AQ6375.
• Even if a turnable laser source or an external device to be controlled by the AQ6370C/
AQ6373/AQ6375 using program functions is connected to the GP-IB1 port, it cannot remote
control the AQ6370C/AQ6373/AQ6375.
• The GP-IB1 and GP-IB2 ports are independent of each other. Thus, a controller connected
to the GP-IB1 port cannot directly send a message to an external device connected to the
GP-IB2 port.
• When a PC or other controller is connected to the GP-IB1 port, connecting the GP-IB1 port
with the GP-IB2 port results in improper operation. Do not connect these ports together, or
turn OFF the system controller function. The default is ON.
