Instrument Verification
Set AC Line Frequency and Date/Time on the B2902A
The Keysight B2902A Source Measure Unit (SMU) is used only for the system
calibration. Its factory default line frequency is set to 50 Hz and must be changed
to 60 Hz in those countries with a 60 Hz line frequency. To change the line
frequency from the instrument front panel, press the following keys:
Optional: To set the Date and Time press the following:
More about IP Addresses and Dot Notation
Dot-notation addresses ("nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" where "nnn" is a byte value from 0 to
255) must be expressed with care, as most PC web software interprets byte
values with leading zeros as octal (base 8) numbers. For example,
"192.168.020.011" is actually equivalent to decimal "192.168.16.9" because
".020" is interpreted as "16" expressed in octal, and ".011" as "9".To avoid
confusion, use only decimal values from 0 to 255, with no leading zeros.
