Setting the 8-bit Configuration Switch
The 8-bit configuration switch is located next to the GPIB connector.
Switch settings provide configuration parameters for GPIB address, serial
communication protocol and instrument specific initialization procedures.
Figure 44 8-bit Configuration Switch
Switches 1 and 2 define which set of parameters (for example, for GPIB,
RS-232C, and so on) will be changed. Once the change has been completed,
the instrument must be powered up again in order to store the values in
the non-volatile memory.
In the non-volatile memory the parameters are kept, regardless of whether
you turn the instrument off and on again. They will be kept until the same
