Communication between the devices on a GPIB bus can occur only if all bus
devices are configured in a compatible manner. For example, each device
on the bus must have a unique identifying address.
Use the GPIB/RS232C pop up menu in the Utility1 major menu to set these
GPIB parameters directly, before you attempt to communicate with other
devices on the bus. See Figure 3 40.

Figure 3 40: The GPIB/RS232C Pop up Menu

The following list describes each selector in the GPIB Parameters section of
this pop up menu:
H Mode lets you set the mode to either Talk/Listen, Talk Only or Off
Bus. Off bus effectively disconnects the 11801C from the bus. The
11801C must be in talk/listen mode to communicate with a controller
using the GPIB. Talk only can be used to drive a printer or plotter over
the GPIB.
GPIB parameters are not changed when you initialize the 11801C.
H Address assigns the knobs to the GPIB address of the 11801C. The
GPIB address can be from 0 to 30. No other device on the bus can use
the address that you assign to the 11801C.
