Details
The address can be set to any address value from 1 to 30. However, the address must be unique in
the system. It cannot conflict with an address that is assigned to another instrument or to the GPIB
controller.
A new GPIB address takes effect when the command to change it is processed. If there are response
messages in the output queue when this command is processed, they must be read at the new
address.
If command messages are being queued (sent before this command has executed), the new settings
may take effect in the middle of a subsequent command message, so care should be exercised when
setting this attribute from the GPIB interface.
You should allow ample time for the command to be processed before attempting to communicate
with the instrument again. After sending this command, make sure to use the new address to
communicate with the instrument.
The
reset()
function does not affect the GPIB address.
Example
gpib.address = 26
address = gpib.address
print(address)
Sets the GPIB address and reads the address.
Output:
2.6001

Function

Usage
lan.applysettings()
Details
Disconnects all existing LAN connections to the instrument and re-initializes the LAN with the present
configuration settings.
This function initiates a background operation. LAN configuration could be a lengthy operation.
Although the function returns immediately, the LAN initialization continues to run in the background.
Even though the LAN configuration settings may not have changed since the LAN was last
connected, new settings may take effect due to the dynamic nature of dynamic host configuration
protocol (DHCP) or dynamic link local addressing (DLLA) configuration.
Re-initialization takes effect even if the configuration has not changed since the last time the
instrument connected to the LAN.
