System Considerations
The remainder of this chapter addresses some system issues concerning
programming. These are ac source addressing and the use of the following types
of GPIB system interfaces:
– HP Vectra PC controller with Keysight 82335A GPIB Interface Command
Library
– IBM PC controller with National Instruments GPIB-PCII Interface/Handler
– Keysight controller with Keysight BASIC Language System
Assigning the GPIB address in programs
The ac source address cannot be set remotely. It must be set from the front panel.
Once the address is set, you can assign it inside programs. The following examples
assume that the GPIB select code is 7, and the ac source will be assigned to the
variable ACS.
For systems using the National Instruments DOS driver, the address is specified in
the software configuration program (IBCONFIG.EXE) and assigned a symbolic
name. The address then is referenced only by this name within the application
program (refer to the National Instruments GPIB documentation).
