Connecting Instruments to GPIB 3
Agilent Connectivity Guide 55
4 Configure GPIB Card Parameters. With the GPIB interface
selected in the Explorer Pane, click Change Properties....
Set the GPIB interface properties as required. Also, verify that this is
the System Controller for the GPIB to which it is attached (this is the
typical operating mode). (See the System Controller discussion
below.) If you plan to program your instruments using the Agilent
488 API, or to run NI-488.2–compatible programs with Agilent
interface hardware (such as GPIB cards), click the button labeled
Agilent 488 Properties... to enable the Agilent 488 library (if it is
not already enabled) or to change other properties as needed. Details
of each interface parameter are available in this dialog box’s online
Help.

NOTE
Beginning with Agilent IO Libraries Suite 15.1, the Agilent 488 Board
Number always corresponds to the VISA Interface Number and it
cannot be modified. In IO Libraries 15.0 and earlier versions, the
Agilent 488 Board Number was a separate entity from the VISA
Interface Number and could be modified.
