Remote Control via IEC/IEEE Bus
Setting the Device Address
In order to operate the instrument via the IEC-bus, it must be addressed using the set IEC/IEEE bus
address. The IEC/IEEE bus address of the instrument is factory-set to 20. It can be changed manually in
the SETUP - GENERAL SETUP menu or via IEC bus. Addresses 0 to 30 are permissible.
Manually:
! Call SETUP - GENERAL SETUP menu
! Enter desired address in table GPIB-ADDRESS
! Terminate input using the ENTER key
Via IEC/IEEE bus:
CALL IBFIND("DEV1", receiver%) 'Open port to the instrument
CALL IBPAD(receiver%, 20) 'Inform controller about old address
CALL IBWRT(receiver%, "SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR 18") 'Set instrument to new address
CALL IBPAD(receiver%, 18) 'Inform controller about new address
Return to Manual Operation
Return to manual operation is possible via the front panel or the IEC/IEEE bus.
Manually: ! Press the LOCAL softkey or the PRESET key
Notes:–Before the transition, command processing must be completed
as otherwise transition to remote control is performed
immediately.
– The keys can be disabled by the universal command LLO (see
Chapter 8, IEC/IEEE-Bus Interface – Interface Messages) in
order to prevent unintentional transition. In this case, transition to
manual mode is only possible via the IEC/IEEE bus.
– The keys can be enabled again by deactivating the REN line of
the IEC/IEEE bus (see Chapter 8, IEC/IEEE-Bus Interface – Bus
Lines).
