INET configuration

Note that global mode has two states: if GLOBAL flashes (default mode) when displayed, the HP 5890 is in global mode, but not configured into the INET system. When the HP 5890 is properly configured into the INET system, GLOBAL is displayed continuously. This feature provides a convenient diagnostic to determine if system configuration has occurred (at least as far as the HP 5890 is concerned).

INET/HP-IL addresses

Figure 5•10shows displays occurring either in verifying an INET address set through automatic loop configuration or in entering a specific HP•IL default address used when the HP 5890 is included in an HP•ILloop without automatic configuration. The address is maintained in battery•protectedmemory along with other instrument setpoints.
