If you desire an RS•232configuration (the bottom toggle toward the
board's outer edge), the top three toggles must be set to establish the
baud rate. Use the table below to set the toggles (note that a toggle on
means that it is set toward the board's outer edge).
toggle 1 OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON
toggle 2 OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF ON ON

Although the INET loop may be configured later for communication with
various products, for the present, the provided HP•ILcable (HP Part No.
82167-60002) should be connected from the interface board's out
connector to its in connector. This will loop information from its
transmitter section back into its receiver section for the initial testing.
Install the instrument's side panel.
1. Plug the instrument's power cord into a power source. Turn the
instrument's main power switch on.
2. As soon as the GC display reads TESTING SIGNAL PATH, press the
CLEAR button. Continue to hold the CLEAR button in, until the User
Tests Sel 0..7 message appears on the display.
3. Press the number 0 on the keypad. The response on the display will
be the revision code for the RS•232/HP•IBinterface installed in your
instrument.
4. Next, press the number 3 on the keypad. The message HPIL Loop
Passed should appear when the INET portion of the interface is
functioning and the HPIL cable is connected from out to in.
