Operating Concepts
GPIB Operation
Most of the GPIB addresses are set at the factory and need not be modified for normal system operation.
The standard factory-set addresses for instruments that may be part of the system are as follows:
The address displayed in this menu for each peripheral device must match the address set on the device
itself. The analyzer does not have a GPIB switch: its address is set only from the front panel.
These addresses are stored in non-volatile memory and are not affected by preset or by cycling the power.
Using the Parallel Port
The instrument's parallel port can be used in two different modes. By pressing and then toggling
the softkey, you can select either the mode or the mode.
The Copy Mode
The copy mode allows the parallel port to be connected to a printer or plotter for the outputting of test
results. To use the parallel port for printing or plotting, you must do the following:
1. Press .
2. Select either or .
3. Select so that copy is underlined.
The GPIO Mode
The GPIO mode turns the parallel port into a "general purpose input/output" port.
In this mode the port can be connected to test fixtures, power supplies, and other peripheral equipment that
might be used to interact with the analyzer during measurements. This mode is exclusively used in test
sequencing.
