Primary address

The power supply ships from the factory with a GPIB address of 16. You can set the address
to a value of 0 to 30. Do not assign the same address to another device or to a controller that is
on the same GPIB bus.
The GPIB address is checked and/or changed from the menu (which is accessed by pressing
the MENU key).

Once in the menu, select GPIB ADDRESS. After setting the address value, make sure you
press ENTER to select it.

Setting the GPIB timeout for responses

When using GPIB to control the power supply, make sure to set the GPIB timeout for
responses. The appropriate setting is dependent on the Model 2306 power supply configuration.
The GPIB timeout for responses is the duration the computer waits before timing out after
sending a request.
