SYSTem Subsystem
3–168 AM700 Audio Measurement Set Programmer Manual
SYSTem Subsystem
Usage: Commands under the COMMunicate node are used to set the communication
parameters for the GPIB and RS232 interfaces and the remote connector. The
COMMunicate commands are divided into those for the GPIB interface, those
for the SERial interface, and those for the remote connector. There are two
serial ports: COM1 and COM2, that require parameter settings. The serial ports
support printer hardcopy and console (operating system command flow used for
diagnostics) output. Other commands under this Subsystem are used to query
for system errors, set the AM700 clock (date and time), and control the system
save state operation.

SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess <0–30>

Usage: Sets the GPIB address of the AM700.
Parameters: <numeric_value> range for the address is 0 to 30.
NOTE. You will have to reconfigure your GPIB controller to recognize
the new AM700 address to be able to talk to it after you change the
address.
Query: syst:comm:gpib:addr? returns the GPIB address of the AM700.
*RST: No *RST event.

SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:MODE TLISten|TONLy|OBUS

NOTE. You will have to reconfigure your AM700 locally to regain
remote control if you set it to TONLy or OBUS from remote control. You
should not use this command if you want to retain remote control of the
AM700.
Usage: Sets the GPIB interface mode to talk/listen (the default state), talk only, or off
bus. Talk only mode is used to drive a printer connected only to the AM700
