Configuring the Instrument - Reference
The Serial BERT has the following utilities for configuring the instrument:
Set Date/Time Dialog Box
This function opens the Date/Time Properties dialog box of Windows®. Use this
dialog box to set the date and time as well as the time zone of your location.
GPIB Address Change Dialog Box
Your instrument is set to a default GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) address.
You can change this address by doing the following:
1
On the Utilities menu, click Change GPIB Address... This starts the GPIB
Address Change dialog box.
2
Select an address from the New GPIB Address list.
3
Click OK. The new address will be applied and the dialog box will close.
Each instrument must be set to a unique GPIB address to avoid multiple
instruments transferring data at the same time.
N O T E
The default address is 14; however, addresses from 0 to 31 may be used if the default
address is the same as another instrument's GPIB address. Address 21 is usually
reserved for the computer interface Talk/Listen address and should not be used
as the instrument address.
