Front panel primary address
To set or check the primary address:
1. Press MENU > GPIB, and then press ENTER or the rotary knob.
2. Set the primary address to the desired value, then press ENTER or the rotary knob.
3. Press EXIT to back out of the menu structure.
Remote primary address
Use the following command to set the primary address by remote:
gpib.address = address
For example, the following command sets the address to 20:
gpib.address = 20
Note that changing the GPIB address takes effect when the command is processed. Any response
messages generated after processing this command will be sent with the new settings. If
command messages are being queued (sent before this command has executed), the new
settings may take effect in the middle of a subsequent command message, so care should be
exercised when setting this attribute from the remote interface.

When receiving data over the GPIB, the Series 2600 will terminate on any line feed character or
any data byte with EOI asserted (line feed with EOI asserted is also valid). When sending data, it
will append a line feed character to all outgoing messages. The EOI line will be asserted with the
terminating line feed character.
