GPIB Capabilities of the DC Source
All dc source functions except for setting the GPIB address are programmable over the GPIB. The IEEE 488.2 capabilities of the dc source are listed in the Specifications Table of the User's Guide.
GPIB Address
The dc source operates from an GPIB address that is set from the front panel. To set the GPIB address, press the Address key on the front panel and enter the address using the Entry keys. The GPIB address is stored in
