Viewing and Modifying the E5810B Configuration
I/O Timeout 120 seconds The I/O timeout value sets the server I/O timeout in seconds. It
configures the E5810B to use an I/O timeout of the specified
amount of seconds if a client requests a timeout of infinity. If 0 is
specified for this value and the client requests an infinite timeout,
the E5810B will use a timeout of infinity as requested.
Setting the I/O timeout to 0 is not recommended, as this can result
in the E5810B waiting indefinitely for an I/O operation and
effectively stall the E5810B.
This timeout value may be used to ensure that the E5810B does
not wait indefinitely for an I/O operation. It also allows the E5810B
to detect certain network events that may go undetected, such as
when a client’s connection is dropped. If the E5810B detects this
condition, it will release any resources, such as locks which are
associated with the client.
GPIB SICL Interface Name gpob0 The GPIB SICL interface name is the symbolic name of the GPIB
interface in the E5810B. It is used in an SICL client application’s
iopen operation to symbolically reference the GPIB interface in
the E5810B.
The maximum length of the GPIB interface name is 15 characters.
If VXI-11 (TCP/IP Instrument Protocol) is used, the name must be
gpib<n>. The names hpib or hpib7 may be used to support
legacy programs, if only SICL/LAN protocols are used.
GPIB Address 21 The GPIB address is the GPIB bus address of the E5810B. This
address is used when transfers are made on the GPIB bus.
An SICL client application can change this value by using the SICL
function IGPIBBUSADDR. The GPIB address value can be any
number from 0 to 30.
GPIB Logical Unit 7 The GPIB logical unit is the interface logical unit (LU) number of
the GPIB interface in the E5810B. It may be used in a Keysight
SICL client application’s iopen statement to uniquely identify the
GPIB interface in the E5810B.
The GPIB logical unit value can be any number from 1 to 255.
