GPIB-232CV User Manual
Chapter 2
Configuration and Installation
This chapter describes the procedures for configuring and installing the
GPIB-232CV.
As mentioned in Chapter 1, the GPIB-232CV can be configured either as a
GPIB Controller capable of addressing a single GPIB device to talk or
listen, or as a GPIB device that can be addressed to talk or listen by a GPIB
Controller.
Choosing Between D Mode or C Mode
When transferring data to or from a GPIB device that has no controller
capabilities, the GPIB-232CV should be set to operate in the Controller (C)
mode. This is because in a GPIB system there must exist at least one
Controller that is responsible for addressing the instruments on the bus to
talk and listen. In this mode the GPIB-232CV, upon power-up, will assert
Interface Clear (IFC) and address the GPIB instrument using the GPIB
primary address set on the configuration switches. An example of a system
operating in C mode is a GPIB device, such as a digital multimeter,
connected to an IBM PC serial port through a GPIB-232CV.
