If desired, you may check the “Store mode and don’t show…” box
to prevent this dialog box from displaying every time you invoke
ArbConnection.
The purpose of this dialog box is to configure the program to
communicate properly with the 3152B. For example, if you are
using a GPIB device that has address 4, you may click “Specify an
Address” and then enter the required address. Then,
ArbConnection will automatically use the specified address each
time it starts up.
If you choose not to have this dialog box displayed automatically at
startup, you may still access and change the options from the
System command, at the top of the ArbConnection window.
Make your selection and then click “Communicate.” The “Startup &
Communication Options” dialog box will close, and the main window
displays.

also access these features through software utilities such as
