1Press the Controller softkey to set the controller interface to RS-232 or GPIB.

GPIB will be a selection on this softkey only if you have the optional N2757A GPIB Interface Module connected to the oscilloscope.

The RS-232configuration to the connector on the rear panel is:

Data bits - 8

Stop bits - 1

Parity - none

2Press the XON DTR softkey to set the RS-232 handshake.

The RS-232 handshake protocol can be set to:

XON XON (transmit on)/XOFF (transmit off), a software handshake, or

DTR data terminal ready, a hardware handshake. The default handshake is DTR.

3Press the Baud softkey to set the RS-232 baud rate.

The RS-232 baud rate can be set to 9600, 19200, 38400, or 57600. The default baud rate is 9600.

4If you have the optional N2757A GPIB Interface Module connected to the oscilloscope, turn the Entry knob to set the GPIB address shown in the Address softkey.

The Address softkey is only displayed if the GPIB module is attached to the oscilloscope.

Turn the Entry knob to set the GPIB address of this oscilloscope. The oscilloscope address can be set to any address from 0 to 30. The default oscilloscope address is 7.
