GPIB REMOTE
OPERATION
The ML2430A Series Power Meter can be operated remotely through a General
Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) connection to a host computer/controller. See
Chapter 3, Connectors, for the location of the GPIB connector. The GPIB connec
-
tor is configured through the System|Rear Panel|GPIB submenu. See Chapter 4,
Front Panel Operation, for specific GPIB connector configuration options that can
be set from the front panel. Refer to Chapter 6, GPIB Operation, for a listing of
the available GPIB commands.
If the ML2430A Series is addressed, and the Remote Enable and Local Lockout
(REM and LLO) lines are not set, the front panel menus are still available, even if
the unit is communicating. As long as the ML2430A Series is GPIB addressed,
the GPIB status box will be displayed on the front panel whether the remote line
is set or not.
If the GPIB box is on the screen and the system is not in a menu screen, and the
system is in local mode (menus available), and no GPIB operations are pending,
then pressing the CLR key clears the GPIB box off the screen.
