Figure 2-1 Setting the GPIB Address
Connect a GPIB interface cable between the signal generator and the
computer. (The following table lists cable part numbers.)
Verify GPIB Functionality
To verify GPIB functionality, use the VISA Assistant, available with the Keysight
IO Library or the Getting Started Wizard available with the National Instrument
IO Library. These utility programs enable you to communicate with the signal
generator and verify its operation over GPIB. For information and instructions
on running these programs, refer to the Help menu available in each utility.
If You Have Problems
1. Verify that the signal generator’s address matches the address declared in
the program (example programs in Chapter 3).
2. Remove all other instruments connected through GPIB and rerun the
program.
3. Verify that the GPIB card’s name or id number matches the GPIB name or
id number configured for your PC.
For details on each key, use the key help. Refer to “Getting Key Help” on page 30 and the User’s Guide. For additional SCPI
command information, refer to the SCPI Command Reference.
