Chapter 2 Front-Panel Overview

To Configure the Remote Interface - 34970A

The 34970A is shipped with both an GPIB (IEEE-488) interface and an

RS-232 interface. Only one interface can be enabled at a time. The GPIB

interface is selected when the instrument is shipped from the factory.

1 Select the GPIB interface.

2 Select the GPIB address.

You can set the instrument’s address to any value between 0 and 30. The

factory setting is address “9”.

3 Save the change and exit the menu.

Note: Your computer’s GPIB interface card has its own address. Be sure

to avoid using the computer’s address for any instrument on the interface

bus. Agilent’s GPIB interface cards generally use address “21”.
