Agilent Technologies E1441A Setting the Module Address Switch, 1.Setting the Logical Address

Setting the Module Address Switch

The logical address switch factory setting is 80. Valid addresses are from 1 to 254 for static configuration (the address you set on the switch) and address 255 for dynamic configuration. The Agilent E1441A supports dynamic configuration of the address. This means the address is set program- matically by the resource manager when it encounters a module with address 255 that supports dynamic configuration.

If you install more than one Function Generator, each module must have a different logical address. If you use a VXIbus command module, the logical address must be a multiple of eight (e.g., 80, 88, 96, etc.) Each instrument must have a unique secondary address which is the logical address divided by eight.

Note When using an Agilent E1405A/B or E1406A as the VXIbus resource manager with SCPI commands, the Function Generator's address switch value must be a multiple of 8.
