must first open the instrument resource as follows:
1. Click on the Open Instrument icon (Refer to Figure 2-4).
2. Choose the desired instrument from the dialog box (Refer to Figure 2-5)
drop-down menu to select a communications resource:
• GPIB – At the factory, the GPIB address for the SourceMeter is set to
26. If using the GPIB interface board 0 and address 26, the resource
setting should be GPIB0::26::INSTR. Resource settings for other GPIB
board numbers and primary addresses are available from the dialog
box.
