Agilent Technologies E3632A Gpib Address, Baud Rate Selection RS-232, Parity Selection RS-232

Chapter 3 Front-Panel Operation

Remote Interface Configuration

GPIB Address

Each device on the GPIB (IEEE-488) interface must have a unique address. You can set the power supply’s address to any value between 0 and 30. The current address is displayed momentarily on the front panel when you turn on the power supply. The address is set to “05” when the power supply is shipped from the factory.

The GPIB address can be set from the front-panel only.

•The address is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.

•Your GPIB bus controller has its own address. Be sure to avoid the bus controller’s address for any instrument on the interface bus. Agilent Technologies controllers generally use address “21”.

Baud Rate Selection (RS-232)

You can select one of six baud rates for RS-232 operation. The rate is set to 9600 baud when the power supply is shipped from the factory.

The baud rate can be set from the front-panel only.

•Select one of the following: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 baud. The factory setting is 9600 baud.

•The baud rate selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.

Parity Selection (RS-232)

You can select the parity for RS-232 operation. The power supply is configured for no parity and 8 data bits when shipped from the factory.

The parity can be set from the front-panel only.

•Select one of the following: None (8 data bits), Even (7 data bits), or Odd (7 data bits). When you set the parity, you are indirectly setting the number of data bits.

•The parity selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
