GPIB Address Configuration Commands and Queries
These GPIB address configuration commands are described in the following sections:
•
LaSaddr
•
LaSaddr?
•
Primary?
•
SaddrLa?
•
Saddrs?
•
SaDisCon
These commands and queries configure and report the relationships between VXI logical
addresses and GPIB addresses.
You can determine the GPIB-VXI/C’s primary address when used for multiple GPIB
secondary addressing by using the
Primary?
query from the serial port. You can determine
the relationships between GPIB addresses and VXI logical addresses by using the
Saddrs?
query followed by
SaddrLa?
queries, or by using the RM information query
Laddrs?
followed by
LaSaddr?
queries.
You can assign GPIB address links to Message-Based Servants of the GPIB-VXI/C with the
LaSaddr
command. The
SaDisCon
command deletes all GPIB address links except the link
to the GPIB-VXI/C local commands.
Note
The letters SA or SADDR in this chapter originally stood for GPIB Secondary
Address. The GPIB-VXI/C can be configured to handle multiple primary addresses
as well. The terminology has been left the same to maintain backward compatibility.
