address. For example, since the HP 8756A default address is 16
decimal = 10000 binary, the default 8756 SYSTEM INTERFACE address is
17 decimal = 10001 binary. As another example, if the HP 8756A
address is 7 decimal= 111 binary, then the SYSTEM INTERFACE address
becomes 6 decimal = 110 binary.
An example of pass through commands to the HP-IB Sweep Oscillator
with address 19 decimal using the default HP 8756A address is:
1. Address device 16 (the HP-IB of the HP 8756A); send the
characters "PT19;" or "PT19[cr][lf]".
2. Address device 17 (the 8756 SYSTEM INTERFACE); send sweeper HP-
IB commands.
3. Address device 16. This returns the HP 87 56A to its normal HP-IB
operation.
4. Subsequent addressing of device 17 will send commands to the HP-
IB Sweep Oscillator.
An example of pass through commands to the HP-IB Plotter with address
05 decimal using the default HP 8756A address is:
1. Address device 16 (the HP-IB of the HP 8756A); send the
characters "PT05;" or "PT05 [cr] [lf] ".
2. Address device 17 (the 8756 SYSTEM INTERFACE); send HP-GL
commands to the Plotter.
3. Address device 16. This returns the HP 8756A to its normal HP-IB
operation.
4. Subsequent addressing of device 17 will send commands to the HP-
IB plotter.
