Signal Output
INET configuration
The specific number shown depends upon how INET cables are connected among devices included in the loop. The value shown in the example (8) implies the HP 5890 is the first instrument on the loop, starting from the OUT receptacle on the controller device (the controller is always defined as 0). A 9 indicates the HP 5890 is the second device on the loop, etc, to a maximum value of 31.
If cabling is altered, or if one or more devices are powered off and then on again, automatic loop configuration, initiated by the controller, updates the displayed value accordingly.
Setting the default
Remaining displays in Figure 5•10show the process of defining a specific HP•ILaddress for the HP 5890. Entry of any value from 8 through 31 is permitted. An attempt to enter an invalid value results in the ADDRESS LIMIT message shown.
INET signal definition (defined at the controller) may be verified at the HP 5890. To display the definitions, enter:
