How to Change the GPIB Instrument Address

GPIB address. The remote control address is factory-set to 20, but it can be changed if
it does not fit in the network environment. For remote control, addresses 0 through 30
are allowed. The GPIB address is maintained after a reset of the instrument settings.
Setting the GPIB address
1. On the R&S
FPL1000, press the [SETUP] key.
2. Press the "N Remote" softkey.
3. In the "N Remote" dialog box, select the "GPIB" tab.
4. In the "GPIB Address" field, enter a value between 0 and 30.
Remote command:
