Configuring The Remote Interface; Gp-Ib - Agilent Technologies E4419B User Manual

Configuring the Remote Interface

This section explains how to configure the power meter for remote control
using either the GP-IB parallel interface or the RS232/422 serial
interface. For further information on using the power meter remotely,
refer to the Agilent E4418B/E4419B Programming Guide.

To select GP-IB as the remote interface press
Remote Interface Select Interface GPIB
GP-IB Address
Each device on the GP-IB (IEEE-488) interface must have a unique
address. You can set the power meter's address to any value between 0
and 30. The address is set to 13 when the power meter is shipped from the
factory.
The address is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change when
the power is switched off, or after a remote interface reset.
Your GP-IB bus controller has its own address. Avoid using the bus
controller's address for any instrument on the interface bus.
To set the GP-IB address from the front panel:
