12.7 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
Since a Factory Preset resets the remote access and network settings to the default
values, executing factory preset via remote control terminates the connection to the
instrument, if these settings had been configured to values different to the default ones!
