Remote Interface Configuration 3
Configuring the GPIB Interface
Each device on the GPIB (IEEE–488) interface must have a unique address. You can set
the multimeter’s address to any integral value between 0 and 30. The address is set to
“22” when the instrument is shipped from the factory.
• Your computer’s GPIB interface card has its own address. Be sure to avoid using that
address for any instrument on the interface bus.
• The GPIB address is stored in non–volatile memory, and does not change when
power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST) command, or after an Instrument
Preset (SYSTem:PRESet) command.
• Front Panel Operation: Press
UTILITY MENU > REMOTE I/O > GPIB > ENABLE GPIB? > GPIB
ADDRESS
After enabling or disabling GPIB, you must cycle the power for the change to take
effect.
• Remote Interface Operation: The following command enables the GPIB remote
interface:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:ENABle ON,GPIB
The following command queries the state of the GPIB interface:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:ENABle? GPIB
This query returns a “0” (OFF) or a “1” (ON).
The following command sets the multimeter’s GPIB (IEEE–488) address:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess {< address >}
The following query returns the IP address, (for example “+22”):
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess?
Refer to the Keysight 34410A/11A/L4411A Programmer’s Reference Help for
complete description and syntax for these commands.
