The GPIB Address String
When programming the counter over GPIB, the instrument’s GPIB address is
included in the address string as shown below:
GPIB0::3::INSTR
Changing the GPIB Address
To change the GPIB address, select GPIB Address and using the rotary knob or
Shifted numeric keys, set the desired address. Once the address is changed, you
must cycle power for the change to take affect.
If the GPIB address is changed, the new address IS NOT updated in Connec-
tion Expert interface window (Figure 2-4).
From the (Connection Expert) window, highlight the GPIB instrument and
then select ‘Change Properties ...”. Within the configurable properties window
(Figure 2-7), change the address to the new address setting and select ‘OK’.
Disabling the GPIB Interface
The GPIB interface can be disabled from the front panel by selecting I/O Config,
followed by GPIB Settings, and then GPIB Off. When disabling or enabling the
interface you must cycle power for the change to take affect. When disabled,
the interface cannot be configured by the Connection Expert utility.
Using the GPIB Interface with Interactive IO
The Web-enabled instrument interface is not available from the GPIB inter-
face. An alternate programming method is to use the Connection Expert
‘Interactive IO’ utility (see “Using Interactive IO).
