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.
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 set of
parameters is subsequently changed and power is reset. All other previously
stored configuration settings will still remain in the non-volatile memory.
