• GPIB Gateway
This option defines whether the ParBERT controller operates as a
GPIB instrument. It has to be selected for a PC that will be controlled
by another PC.
This also applies to configurations with the IEEE 1394 PC link to VXI
option. In this case, the firmware server communicates with the
modules through the IEEE 1394 PC link to VXI and with the user’s
program through the GPIB interface card. See also Figure 3 on
page 14.
How to Set the I/O Interfaces and Systems
Setting the I/O interfaces and systems requires two steps:
1. You have to select the interface to be used for communication.
2. You have to build the systems.
Selecting the I/O Interface
This procedure defines the I/O interfaces that the PC uses.
To select the I/O interface:
1 In the Agilent 81250 Configuration Tool window, click the
I/O Interfaces and Systems tab.
The I/O Interfaces and Systems page comes to the top.
