Most of the HP-IB addresses are set at the factory and need not be modified for normal system
operation. The standard factory-set addresses for instruments that may be part of the
system
are as follows:
Instrument
BP-IB Address
(decimal)
Analyzer
16
Plotter
05
Printer
01
External Disk Drive
00
Controller
21
Power Meter

The address displayed in this menu for each peripheral device must match the address set on
the device itself. The analyzer does not have an HP-IB switch: its address is set only from the
front panel.
These addresses are stored in non-volatile memory and are not affected by preset or by cycling
the power.

The GPIO Mode
The GPIO mode turns the
parallel
port into a “general purpose input/output” port.
In this mode the port can be connected to test
fixtures,
power supplies, and other peripheral
equipment that might be used to interact with the analyzer during measurements. This mode is
exclusively used in test sequencing.
