SYSTem Subsystem

This subsystem is used to set the controls and parameters associated with the overall system communication. These are functions that are not related to instrument performance. Examples include functions for performing general housekeeping and functions related to setting global configurations.

GPIB Address

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:ADDRess <integer>

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:ADDRess?

Sets and queries the GPIB address.

Example:	SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR 18
Factory Preset
and *RST:	The factory default is 18.
	This function is persistent which means that it stays at
	the setting previously selected, even through a power
	cycle.
Range:	Integer, 0 to 30
Example:	SYST:COMM:GIPB:ADDRESS 18
Front Panel
Access:	System, Config I/O, GPIB Addr

LAN IP Address with Host Name

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN[:SELF]:IP <string>

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN[:SELF]:IP?

Set the IP (internet protocol) address, domain name and node name for the instrument.

<string> is a string that contains: <IP address> <host name> as shown in the following example:

141.4.402.222 sigan

where: 141.4.402.222, is the IP address and sigan, is the host name.

Example:

SYST:COMM:LAN:IP “22.121.44.45 analyz”
