3. Connect any additional connectors from other instruments, as required for your application.
4. Ensure the other end of the cable is properly connected to the controller.
Set the GPIB address
The default GPIB address is 16. You can set the address to any address 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.
The address is saved in nonvolatile memory, so it does not change when a reset is done or when the
power is turned off and then turned on again.
From the front panel:
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Under System, select Communication. The SYSTEM COMMUNICATIONS window opens.
3. Select the GPIB tab.
4. Next to Address, select the number. The GPIB Address dialog box is displayed.
5. Enter the address.
6. Select OK.
If you are using a Model DMM7510 with no front panel, you can set the GPIB address with the SCPI
command :SYSTem:GPIB:ADDRess (on page 6-146) or the TSP command gpib.address (on page
8-217).
