6-6 Remote Operations Models 2510 and 2510-AT User’s Manual
Primary address
The Model 2510 ships from the factory with a GPIB primary address of 15. When the unit
powers up, it momentarily displays the primary address. You can set the address to a value
from 0 to 30, but do not assign the same address to another device or to a controller that is
on the same GPIB bus (controller addresses are usually 0 or 21).
The primary address can be checked and/or changed from the COMMUNICATION
option of the Main Menu. (See “Main menu,” page 1-19.)
RS-232 interface operation
NOTE The programmable aspects of RS-232 operation (baud rate, data bits, parity,
and terminator) are configured from the COMMUNICATION option of the Main
Menu. (See “Main menu,” page 1-19.)
Sending and receiving data
The RS-232 interface transfers data using 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Make sure
the device you connect to the Model 2510 also uses these settings.
You can break data transmissions by sending a ^C (decimal 3) or ^X (decimal 18) charac-
ter string to the instrument. This clears any pending operation and discards any pending
output.
Baud rate
The baud rate is the rate at which the Model 2510 and the programming terminal commu-
nicate. Choose one of these available rates:
• 57600
• 38400
• 19200
• 9600
• 4800
• 2400
• 1200
• 600
• 300
The factory selected baud rate is 9600.
When you choose a baud rate, make sure the programming terminal or printer that you are
connecting to the Model 2510 can support the baud rate you selected. Both the Model
2510 and the other device must be configured for the same baud rate.
