Instrument
Addressing
Instruments in an HP 75000 Series B or Series C mainframe are located
with an HP-IB address. The HP-IB address is a combination of the
computer’s interface select code, the primary HP-IB address of the
mainframe’s system instrument, and the secondary HP-IB address of the
virtual instrument. Addresses of this form in an HP BASIC statement might
appear as:
OUTPUT 70903;"...
OUTPUT 70914;"...
Interface Select Code (7): Determined by the address of the HP-IB
interface card in the computer. In most Hewlett-Packard computers, this
card has a factory set address of 7.
Primary HP-IB Address (09): This is the address of the HP-IB port on the
Series B mainframe and on the Series C HP E1406A Command Module.
The mainframe and command module have a factory set address of 9.
Secondary HP-IB Address (03) (14): This address is determined by
dividing the logical address of the instrument identifier by 8. Thus, for a
scanning multimeter with an instrument identifier logical address of 24, the
secondary address is 03. For a switchbox with an instrument identifier
logical address of 112, the secondary address is 14.
Multiplexer Card
Numbers
The multiplexer modules in a scanning multimeter and switchbox
instrument assume card numbers within the instrument (Figure 1-4). The
multiplexer with the lowest logical address is card number 1, the next
lowest logical address is card number 2, and so on. Thus, in the following
configurations, the multiplexer card numbers would be:
Scanning Multimeter
Logical address = 24
(multimeter)
Logical address = 25
(multiplexer - card number 1)
Logical address = 26
(multiplexer - card number 2)
Logical address = 27
(multiplexer - card number 3)
Switchbox
Logical address = 112
(multiplexer - card number 1)
Logical address = 113
(multiplexer - card number 2)
Logical address = 114
(multiplexer - card number 3)
Logical address = 115
(multiplexer - card number 4)
