Agilent Technologies Switch/Measure manual Gpib Interface, USB Interface, LAN Interface

Features and Functions 2

GPIB Interface

Each device on the GPIB (IEEE- 488) interface must have a unique address. You can set the instrument’s address to any value between 0 and 30. The address is set to “9” when the instrument is shipped from the factory.

•Your computer’s GPIB interface card has its own address. Be sure to avoid using the computer’s address for any instrument on the interface bus.

•The GPIB address is stored in non- volatile memory, and does not change when power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST command), or after an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).

Front Panel Operation: Utility > REMOTE I/O > GPIB > GPIB ADDRESS

To set the GPIB address, turn the knob (or use the number keypad) to select the desired address.

Remote Interface Operation: SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess

USB Interface

For the USB interface, no configuration parameters are required to set up the instrument. Connect your instrument to a USB port on your computer. Note that it may take several seconds for the computer to recognize and establish a connection to the instrument.

LAN Interface

By default, DHCP is enabled on the instrument, which may enable network communication over the LAN interface. You may need to set several configuration parameters as described in this section.
