Configuring the Remote Interface

This section briefly describes how to configure the GPIB, LAN and USB remote

For more information on configuring the remote interface connectivity, refer to

the Keysight Technologies USB/LAN/GPIB Interfaces Connectivity Guide. If you

have installed the IO Libraries Suite, you can access the Connectivity Guide via

the Keysight IO Libraries Control icon. Alternatively, you can access the

Connectivity Guide via the Web at www.keysight.com/find/connectivity.

You can choose to control the power meter remotely using the GPIB, LAN or USB

For information on selecting and configuring the remote interface manually from

the front panel, refer to the P-Series Power Meters Installation Guide.

It is expected that most users will use the front panel keys to set up the remote

interfaces. The remote interface commands are provided for completeness (for

the front panel operation).

Each device on the GPIB (IEEE-488) interface must have a unique address. You

can set the power meter's address to any value between 0 and 30. The power

meter is shipped with a default address set to 13. The GPIB address is stored in

non-volatile memory, and does not change when the power meter is switched off,

or after a remote interface reset.

Your GPIB bus controller has its own address. Avoid using the bus controller's

address for any instrument on the interface bus. Keysight Technologies controllers

generally use address 21.
