Setting the Test Set Address Switch
The test set is shipped with the GPIB address set to 12, which sets the parallel address to
00 as in Figure 6. Refer to "Controlling the Test Set and Making Measurements" on page
11 for the definition of the parallel address.
To set the GPIB address, set all five switches so that the sum of the switches in the “on” or
“1” position equal the desired address. In the example below, the two switches in the “on”
position are 8 and 4, thus the GPIB address of 12.
To set the parallel address, use only the number 1 switch. Therefore the possibilities for
parallel port addressing are an address of 0 or 1.
When GPIB is used, the parallel address is ignored.
