IEEE-488 Communication DIP Switch Settings
5.2.3 IEEE-488 Communication DIP Switch Settings
The 5 DIP switches located on the rear panel of the Model 185/186 are
used to set the primary IEEE-488 bus address of the unit.
5.2.3.1 IEEE-488 primary bus address
The Model 185/186 primary bus address is controlled by switches 1
through 5 of the communication DIP switch on the rear panel. Valid
primary addresses are between 0 and 30. The Model 185/186 does not use
secondary addressing. Note that many IEEE-488 controller cards in
external computers will use address 0 (or 21). The bus address for each
Model 185/186 should be unique with respect to other Model 185/186 units
or any other devices on the bus. The switch settings for the various
addresses are (on = 1 or the up position):
