Reading the GPIB Address

Before you can operate the LDC-3700C from a remote location, you need to know
its GPIB address. Simply press the LOCAL switch in the section labeled GPIB on
the front panel. The instrument will display the address on the TEC display. The
default address from the factory is address "Adr 01".

Changing the GPIB Address

Every device on the GPIB bus must have a unique address. If it is necessary to
change the address, press and hold in the (PARAMETER) SET switch while
displaying the GPIB address. Turn the ADJUST knob until the desired address
value is displayed, then release the SET switch. The new GPIB address will then
be stored in non-volatile memory. The allowable address range is 0-30 for
primary GPIB addressing. Extended GPIB addressing is not implemented on the
LDC-3700C Series Laser Diode Controller at this time.
