Setting the GPIB Address
Subject
The default GPIB address of the T100S-HP is factory-set to 10. This section explains how
to modify it (possible values are 1 to 30).
Once changed, the new GPIB address is stored in flash memory, and becomes the new
default system setting. The T100S-HP retains the new GBIP address even after system
turn-off.
To void address conflicts, you must make sure that your T100S-HP GPIB address is
different from the address of any other device already connected to the GPIB port.
