50 Keysight J7201A/B/C Operating and Service Manual
Configuring the Remote Interface
This section briefly describes how to configure the GPIB, USB and LAN remote interfaces.
Interface selection
You can choose to control the J7201A/B/C remotely using either the GPIB, USB or LAN interfaces.
For information on selecting and configuring the remote interface manually from the instrument
front panel or remotely via virtual front panel, refer to Chapter 6, "Remote Operations".
GPIB configuration
Each device on the GPIB (IEEE- 488) interface must have a unique address. You can set the
J7201A/B/C address to any value between 0 and 30. The J7201A/B/C is shipped with a default
address set to 28. The GPIB address is stored in non-volatile memory and does not change when
the J7201A/B/C is switched off or after a remote interface reset.
For information on setting the GPIB address manually via front panel operation, refer to
“Connecting over GPIB” on page 82.
For detailed information on remote interface connectivity configuration refer to the Keysight
Technologies USB/LAN GPIB Interfaces Connectivity Guide. If you have installed the IO Libraries
Suite, you can access the Connectivity Guide via the Keysight IO Libraries Control icon.
Alternatively, you can access the Connectivity Guide via the Web at:
www.keysight.com/find/connectivity.
The latest version of Keysight IO Libraries Suite can be downloaded from
www.keysight.com/find/iosuitedownload. The Keysight Instrument Control DVD, with the above
software, is no longer shipped with Keysight instruments. If you require a Keysight Instrument
Control DVD, it can be ordered by contacting your local Keysight Customer Contact Center.
It is expected that most users will use the front panel keys to set up the remote interfaces. The
remote interface commands are provided for completeness (for front panel operation).
