Preparing the Test Set for HP-IB Control
1. If other HP-IB devices are in the system, attach an HP-IB cable from the Test Set’s rear-
panel HP-IB connector to any one of the other devices in the test system.
2. Access the I/O CONFIGURE screen and perform the following steps:
a. Set the Test Set’s HP-IB address using the HP-IB Adrs field (see "Addressing"
on page 36).
b. Set the Test Set’s HP-IB Controller capability using the Mode field.
• Talk&Listen configures the Test Set to be controlled through HP-IB with an
external controller. The Test Set has Active Controller capability (take control/
pass control) in this mode.
• Control configures the Test Set to be the system controller. Use this setting
if the Test Set will be the only controller on the HP-IB. Selecting Control
automatically makes the Test Set the active controller.
NOTE: Only one active controller is allowed on the HP-IB at one time!
3. If an HP-IB printer is or will be connected to the Test Set’s rear-panel HP-IB connector,
perform the following steps:
a. Access the PRINT CONFIGURE screen.
b. Select one of the supported HP-IB printer models using the Model field.
c. Set the Printer Port field to HP-IB.
d. Set the printer address using the Printer Address field.
