Configuring Remote Interface
This section briefly describes how to configure the GPIB, USB and LAN remote interfaces.
Interface selection
You can choose to control the J7211A/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 5, "Remote Operations".
GPIB configuration
Each device on the GPIB (IEEE- 488) interface must have a unique address. You can set the
J7211A/B/C address to any value between 0 and 30. The J7211A/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 J7211A/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 54.
USB configuration
The USB interface requires no front panel or remote configuration. The USB is fixed and can not be
changed - it is set at the factory and is unique for each J7211A/B/C.
For more detail information on remote interface connectivity configuration refer to the Keysight
Technologies USB/LAN GPIB Interfaces Connectivity Guide. If you have installed the IO Library
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.
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).
For further information on USB configuration, refer to “Connecting over USB” on page 55.
Before connecting the USB cable, make sure that I/O software is installed on your computer.
