:SYSTem Subsystem
This subsystem collects together the capabilities that are not related to
instrument performance.
:SYSTem:COMMunicate Subtree
The :SYSTem:COMMunicate subtree collects together the configuration of
the control/communication interfaces.
The :SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial subtree controls the physical
configuration of the RS-232C port. Any command to change the settings
takes effect immediately upon receipt of the “program message termination.”
These settings are stored in non-volatile memory, and are unaffected by
power-on, *SAV/*RCL, and *RST.
The :SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:TRANsmit subtree controls
parameters associated with transmission.
The Counter always uses eight data bits, one stop bit, and no parity.
COMMAND :SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:ADDress . . . <numeric_value>
Sets the GPIB address that the Counter uses.
REPLY FORMAT <NR1>
COMMENTS • The range for <numeric_value> is 0 through 30.
• The default setting is address 19.
• This value is unaffected by *RST.
• To change the GPIB address used at power-on, save the instrument
settings using the *SAV 0 command after changing the GPIB address.
