Setting the GPIB Address

There are two ways to set the GPIB address:
• You can set the GPIB address by using the command
":SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:ADDRess" on page 62.
• You can set the GPIB address from the front panel. See your instrument's
User's Guide for more information.
The default GPIB address is 20.
