Most of the HP-IB addresses are set at the factory and need not be modified for normal system operation. The standard factory-set addresses for instruments that may be part of the system are as follows:

Instrument

BP-IB Address

 

(decimal)

Analyzer

16

Plotter

05

Printer

01

External Disk Drive

00

Controller

21

Power Meter

13

The address displayed in this menu for each peripheral device must match the address set on the device itself. The analyzer does not have an HP-IB switch: its address is set only from the front panel.

These addresses are stored in non-volatile memory and are not affected by preset or by cycling the power.

Using the Parallel Port

The instrument’s parallel port can be used in two different modes. By pressing m and then

,:ii.:::::.:::::::::::::::r / :,.:..y.: :....: ..:.::.:.:.: ,

_... ,.; _

toggling the ~~~~~~~~

softkey, you cm s&& either the ~~~~~~~ mode or the ~~~~~~~:~~:,,

.s. ..:: z,.:: .i ;;,,, ..::.::: .,.,., u ,...,.. .A.. :..,,..:;;;;;;;.i

- ._....._....._._......-

mode.

The Copy Mode

The copy mode allows the parallel port to be connected to a printer or plotter for the outputting of test results. ‘lb use the parallel port for printing or plotting, you must do the following:

The GPIO Mode

The GPIO mode turns the parallel port into a “general purpose input/output” port.

In this mode the port can be connected to test fixtures, power supplies, and other peripheral equipment that might be used to interact with the analyzer during measurements. This mode is exclusively used in test sequencing.
