Setting the Test Set Address Switch
The test set is shipped with the GPIB (HP-IB) address set to 12, which
sets the parallel address to 0 as in Figure 2-2. Refer to Chapter 3
"Controlling the Test Set and Making Measurements" for the definition
of the parallel address.
To set the GPIB address, set all five switches so that the sum of the
switches in the on or “1” position equal the desired address. In the
example below, the two switches in the “on” position are 8 and 4, thus
the GPIB address of 12.
To set the parallel address, use only the number 1 switch. Therefore
the possibilities for parallel port addressing are an address of 0 or 1.
When GPIB is used, the parallel address is ignored.
