• Only use one communication interface: GP-IB, USB, or Network. If you send commands simultaneously
from more than one communication interface, the instrument will not execute the commands properly.
• When the controller is communicating with this instrument or with other devices through GP-IB, do not
change the address.
• Each device that is connected by GP-IB has its own unique address in the GP-IB system. This address
is used to distinguish one device from other devices. Therefore, you must assign a unique address to the
instrument when connecting it to a PC or other device.
