Primary Address - Keithley 2600B Reference Manual

Section 2: General operation Series 2600B System SourceMeter® Instrument Reference Manual

Primary address

The Series 2600B ships from the factory with a GPIB primary address of 26. If the GPIB interface is
enabled, it momentarily displays the primary address on power-up. You can set the address to a
value from 0 to 30, but do not assign the same address to another device or to a controller that is on
the same GPIB bus (controller addresses are usually 0 or 21).
To set or check the primary address from the front panel:
1. Press the MENU key, then select GPIB, and then press the ENTER key or the navigation wheel
.
2. Select ADDRESS, then press the ENTER key or the navigation wheel .
3. Use the navigation wheel to set the primary address to the appropriate value, then press the
ENTER key or the navigation wheel .
4. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key twice to return to the normal display.
To set the primary address remotely:
gpib.address = address
To set the primary address remotely 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 are 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 GPIB interface.
Terminator
When receiving data over the GPIB, the instrument terminates messages on any line feed character
or any data byte with EOI asserted (line feed with EOI asserted is also valid). When sending data, it
appends a line feed character to all outgoing messages. The EOI line is asserted with the terminating
line feed character.
