Figure 3 !185: Menu Displayed When GPIB is Selected

The instrument can be set to one of four operating modes: talk/listen, waveform transfer, talk only, or off-bus. However, you should be aware that talk only and waveform transfer modes are not compliant with IEEE 488.2-1987.

Talk/Listen

Select talk/listen mode from the side menu to

 

communicate with the controller via the GPIB.

 

When the Talk/Listen Address item is selected, the

 

operating mode for this instrument and other devices

 

is set to talk/listen or the general purpose knob and

 

the numeric keys set the GPIB address for this

 

instrument. The GPIB address setting range is 0±30.

 

Other devices on the bus cannot use the address

 

number allocated to this instrument.

Waveform Transfer

Select Waveform Transfer mode from the side

 

menu to download waveform data. In this mode,

 

waveform data does not go through the controller; it

 

is downloaded directly to the internal memory of the

 

instrument from a digital storage oscilloscope or

 

other instrument. See Table 3-19 in Section 4D

 

LOAD/SAVE menu for a list of supported instru-

 

ments.
