Assigning the GPIB Address In Programs

The following examples assume that the GPIB select code is 7, the the power supply is 6, and that the power supply address will be assigned to the variable @PS.

1000	!Stand-alone address. The power supply will respond if it is set to 6
1010	PS=706	!Statement for Agilent 82335A Interface
1010	ASSIGN @PS TO 706	! Statement for Agilent BASIC Interface
1020	!Direct address. The power supply will respond if it is set to 6. or 6.0
1030	PS-70600	! Statement for Agilent 82335A Interface
1030	ASSIGN @PS TO 70600	! Statement for Agilent BASIC Interface
1040	!Linked address 1. The power supply will respond if it is set to address .1 and is serially connected to a
	supply at direct address 6.0
1050	PS=706.01	!Agilent 82335A Interface
1090	ASSIGN @PS TO 706.01	!Agilent BASIC Interface

For systems using the National Instruments DOS driver, the address is specified in the software configuration program (IBCONFIG.EXE) and assigned a symbolic name. The address then is referenced only by this name within the application program (see the National Instruments GP-IB documentation).
