3 Easy Ways to Control Instruments Chapter
7 Click OK to return to the Instrument Properties box. Click OK.
The list of available instruments should now include an
instrument configuration named scope, using the driver file
hp54504a.cid, as shown in
Figure 86. The instrument does
not have a bus address specified, because it is not live at
present. You can develop the program in this mode, and
add an address later, when you are ready to connect the
instrument to your computer.
Press the Tab key after typing in a field to move to the next
field, and press Shift-Tab to move to the previous field.
Pressing Enter is equivalent to clicking OK. VEE closes the
dialog box.

Sub Address Leave this field blank. Sub Address is used only by non-VXI
cardcage instruments for identifying plug-in modules.
Error Checking Leave the default setting ON. Error Checking can be turned
off for extra throughput, but then it does not check for I/O
errors.
Incremental Mode Leave the default setting
ON. Incremental Mode can
also be turned off, which sends the entire instrument
command string for the instrument state each time you
change a setting.
