Syntax: Short Form: SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR<INT VAL> 0 to 30
Long Form: SYSTem:COMMunication:GPIB:ADDRess<INT VAL> 0 to 30
Description:Sets selected power supply GPIB address. NOTE: After executing this command, subse-
quent commands must be directed to the new GPIB address. Requires MEM:UPD (PAR. B.12) to save for
power up. See PAR. 3.5.5.2 and Figure 3-6 for special programming considerations.

Syntax: Short Form: SYST:COMM:SER:ECHO {ON | OFF} or {01 | 00}
Long Form: SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial:ECHO {ON | OFF} or {01 | 00}
Description: Enables (ON) or disables (OFF) echo mode (see PAR. 3.6.4.2.2). Sending ON or 01 causes all sub-
sequent characters to be echoed back. Sending OFF or 00 turns off the character echo after the next
line terminator character. The *RST command has no effect on echo status. See PAR. 3.5.5.2 and Fig-
ure 3-6 for special programming considerations.
