USB Configuration
The Keysight IOLibraries are required to control the instrument through the USB interface.
Use a standard USB cable to connect the instrument to the computer. There are no configurable USB
parameters, but you can retrieve the USB connect string using the front panel.

GPIB Configuration
The GPIB interface requires the optional GPIB interface board and uses a standard IEEE-488 cable to
connect to the computer.
Each device on the GPIB (IEEE-488) interface must have a unique whole number address between 0
and 30 (default 5). Your computer’s GPIB interface card address must not conflict with any instrument
on the interface bus. To change the GPIB address:
Front Panel SCPI Command
[Menu]>System>IO>GPIB
Use the numeric keypad to enter a value from 0 to 30. Then press [Enter].
Not available
This setting is nonvolatile; it will not be changed by power cycling or *RST.
LAN Configuration
The following sections describe the primary front-panel LAN configuration functions. There are no
equivalent SCPI commands.
To begin configuring the remote interface from the front panel, press [Menu]>System>IO>LAN.
