Manually Assigning GPIB Addresses
The GPIB Address Assignment window will appear (see figure below). The fields in this dialog
box will be blank unless device assignments were previously made. The
GPIB Address
Assignments
dialog box manages the address settings for both the GPIB host and all OE-2’s.
Optical Configuration Dialog Box – GPIB Address Assignment
The Optical GPIB Board field controls the host GPIB address, that is, the GPIB address of the SIA
controller or host controller computer. In most installations, this will be set to 0. In cases where a
host computer has more than one GPIB interface bus connected to it, the
Optical GPIB Board
address should be set to the card address for the bus connected to the
OE-2’s.
The
Optical GPIB Device field sets the address of the OE-2’s connected to the GPIB bus. Set
the Optical GPIB Device to the DIP switch setting on the back panel of the OE-2 and select the
Add Device button. The OE-2 address will appear in the Remote Device List. In the case of
multiple
OE-2 installations, each remote device will have to be individually added.
The default address for the
OE-2 is 6.
The
Device Name (UNIX Only) field is not used at this time.
Automatically Assigning GPIB Addresses
To automatically assign GPIB addresses, click on the “OE Device Search” button to have VISI
automatically search the GPIB network and identify all connected OE-2’s.
