3. Connect any additional connectors from other instruments, as required for your application.
4. Make sure the other end of the cable is properly connected to the controller.
Set the GPIB address
The default GPIB address is 5. You can set the address to any number from 1 to 30 if it is unique in
the system. This address cannot conflict with an address that is assigned to another instrument or to
the GPIB controller.
GPIB controllers are usually set to 0 or 21. To be safe, do not configure any instrument to have an
address of 21. To change the controller address, see the documentation for the controller.
