11.7 How to Change the GPIB Instrument Address
To control the instrument remotely via the GPIB bus, it must be addressed using the
GPIB address. The remote control address is factory-set to 28, but it can be changed if
it does not fit in the network environment. For remote control, addresses 0 through 30
are allowed. The GPIB address is maintained after a reset of the instrument settings.
To set the GPIB address:
1. Select "System Config > Remote Access > GPIB Address".
2. Select "GPIB Channel Address" and enter a value between 0 and 30.
Risk of losing remote connection
If the remote access and network settings had been configured to values different to
the default, executing a factory preset via remote control terminates the connection to
the instrument.
