Connecting to a GPIB Server

Connecting to a GPIB Server

Connect a cable to the standard GPIB connector on the rear panel of the instrument. The GPIB can then be used to send SCPI commands to control the instrument and to return measurement data to the computer.

The GPIB address can be queried and set from the front panel key menus by pressing System, Config I/O, GPIB Address. This can also be done remotely using SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR.

Pressing Preset will not change the GPIB address. It is persistent and will stay at the last user-defined setting. However, you can return the instrument to its original factory defaults by pressing System, Restore Sys Defaults. If you want to use a GPIB address other than 18 after restoring defaults, you will have to re-set the address.
