Agilent Technologies 75000 SERIES B, E1301B SYSTemCOMMunicate GPIBADDRess, Systcommgpibaddr

SYSTem:COMMunicate :GPIB:ADDRess

:COMMunicate	SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess < address> sets the primary address
:GPIB:ADDRess	of the Instrument’s GPIB port.
Parameters
	Parameter		Parameter		Range of	Default
		Name	Type		Values	Units
		address	numeric		must round to 0 to 30	none
Comments	•	The value of < address>		is effective after the System Instrument has
		received a < new line>		following the SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR
		command. < new line>		can be a line-feed or END (EOI signal).
	•	Related Commands: SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR?,
		DIAG:BOOT:COLD
	• *RST Condition: *RST does not change the System Instrument’s primary
		GPIB address.
Example Set the GPIB port’s primary address
		SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR 9			sets the primary address to 9

:COMMunicate SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess? returns the Command Module :GPIB:ADDRess? primary GPIB address.

Example Read the Primary GPIB Address.
SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR?	Read the GPIB address
enter statement	Enter the GPIB address

Comments

The SYStem:COMMunicate:SERial[n]: … commands set and/or modify the configuration of the serial interface(s) that are under control of the System Instrument. The interface to be affected by the command is specified by a number (zero through seven) which replaces the [n] in the :SERial[n] command. The number is the interface’s card number. Card number zero specifies the E1300/E1301 mainframe’s built-in interface while one through seven specify one of up to seven E1324 B-size plug-in serial interface modules. The serial interface installed at logical address 1 becomes card number 1, the serial interface installed at the next sequential logical address becomes card number 2 and so on. The logical addresses used by plug-in serial interfaces must start at 1 and be contiguous (no unused logical addresses).

•Serial communication commands take effect after the end of the program message containing the command.

•Serial communication settings for the built-in RS-232 interface can be stored in its non-volatile RAM only after the DIAG:COMM:SER[n]:STORe command is executed. These settings are used at power-up and DIAG:BOOT[:WARM].
