Introduction to the Variable Wavelength Dector

Setting the 8-bit Configuration Switch

The 8-bit configuration switch is located next to the GPIB connector. Switch settings
provide configuration parameters for GPIB address, serial communication protocol and
instrument specific initialization procedures.

Switches 1 and 2 define which set of parameters (for example, for GPIB, RS-232C, and
so on) will be changed. Once the change has been completed, the instrument must be
powered up again in order to store the values in the non-volatile memory.
In the non-volatile memory, the parameters are kept, regardless of whether you turn the
instrument off and on again. They will be kept until the same set of parameters is
changed and the power is reset. All other previously stored configuration settings will
still remain in the non-volatile memory.
