Finding instruments

The Instruments Connected column displays the SICL

address for each GPIB, USB, or RS- 232 instrument

connected to your E5810B. The SICL address is required for

the E5810B to interact with the instruments

programmatically.

To refresh the display or if instruments have been added or

deleted, select

Find to display the current configuration. The

Find command is automatically performed when the Find

and Control Instruments Connected to your E5810B page is

opened and the correct password is provided. However, if no

instruments are displayed when the first time this page is

opened, select Find to display the current list of instruments

that are powered up and connected to the E5810B.

After selecting Find, all connected instruments should appear

in the Instruments Connected column. The top item,

COM1,488 will always be listed whether or not you have an

RS- 232 instrument connected. All other devices shown in the

Instruments Connected column are the SICL addresses of

your connected instruments. If no connected instruments are

found, a message to this effect is displayed in the output

text area.
