INET CONFIGURATION

(“CALIB AND TEST” function 3)

The CONFIGURE NETWORK function provides four features: verifying the

INET address for the HP 5890A (as determined through automatic loop

configuration), setting the default HP-IL address to be used when the

HP 5890A is connected to some device where addresses must be set

manually (i.e., no automatic loop configuration), switching the INET

function at the HP 5890A between “global” or “local,” and verifying INET

signal definitions. Each feature is discussed separately.

the INET loop. In “local” mode, however, pressing

at the HP 5890A without affecting other devices on the INET loop.

In “local” mode, note that the HP 5890A remains part of the INET

system; it reports its “readiness” to the system and pressing “START” and
