Remote Interface Configuration
This section gives information on configuring the instrument for remote
interface communication. For more information on configuring the
instrument from the front panel, see “To Configure the Remote Interface”
starting on page 46. For more information on the
SCPI commands
available to program the instrument over the remote interface,
see chapter 5, “Remote Interface Reference” starting on page 179.
GPIB Address
Each device on the GPIB (IEEE-488) interface must have a unique
address. You can set the instrument’s address to any value between
0 and 30. The address is set to “9” when the instrument is shipped from
the factory. The
GPIB address is displayed at power-on.
You can set the GPIB address from the front panel only.
• The address is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change
when power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST command),
or after an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
• Your computer’s GPIB interface card has its own address. Be sure
to avoid using the computer’s address for any instrument on the
interface bus. Agilent’s
GPIB interface cards generally use address “21”.
