Each instrument serviced by the GPIB has its own primary address code, which enables the computer
to obtain readings from the instrument. The factory default of the setting on the 6400 is 11.
Some personal computer interfaces can access from one to fifteen 4-bit primary addresses. Other
interfaces can access as many as thirty-one 5-bit primary addresses. The 6400 uses the 4-bit format.
For setup, follow the steps below.
