4.2.11.1 GPIB/RS232 (incl. USB/LAN) SETUP menu
The GPIB/RS232 SETUP menu may be used to change the interface parameter settings for
both the IEEE-488 interface and the RS232, USB or LAN interface. The number of interfaces
available will depend on the specific model and options as well as the time of manufacture.
Older MX models do not offer USB or LAN interfaces. Newer models can be equipped with as
many as 4 different interfaces although only one can be used at the same time.
Refer to the MX Series Programming Manual P/N 7003-961 distributed in Adobe PDF format on
the same CD ROM as this user manual for more details on using the RS232, USB or LAN
interface.
The following parameters can be set from this menu:
GPIB ADDRESS
RS232 BAUDRATE
RS232 DATA
RS232 PARITY
RS232 STP BITS
108

Sets the IEEE-488 address used by the AC source. The
address value can be set from 0 through 31. Address 0 is often
reserved for the IEEE-488 controller. The factory setting is
address 1. Once changed, the IEEE-488 address is retained in
nonvolatile memory.
This field can be used to set the RS232
9600, 19,200, 38,400, 57600 or 115,200 baud. The baud rate
set on the AC source must match the one programmed for the
communications port of the controller. Baud rates higher than
115200 are provided for th
only. The same setting is used for USB and LAN modes. For
use with either USB or LAN, the baud r
be set to 460800. See UTILITY 2 scr
parameters.
This field is used to set the number of data bits to either 7 or 8
Factory setting is 8 bits. This value must match the number of
data bits set on the communications port of the controller. For
USB or LAN use, always use factory settings.
This field is used to set the parity. Available options are Even
(E), Odd (O) or no parity (N). Factory set
value must match the parity set on the communications port
the controller. For USB or LAN use, always use factory settin
This field is used to set the number of stop bits used on th
serial port. Available options are 1 or 2 bits. Factory settin
