Setting the GPIB Address
There are two ways to set the GPIB address:
• You can set the GPIB address by using the command
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:ADDRess on page 71.
• You can set the GPIB address from the front panel. See your
instrument’s User’s Guide for more information.
The default GPIB address is 20.
