2. Execute the following commands on the controller:
a) Open the port to the instrument.
CALL IBFIND("DEV1", generator%)
b) Inform the controller about instrument address.
CALL IBPAD(generator%, 28)
c) Reset the instrument.
CALL IBWRT(generator%, "*RST;*CLS")
d) Set the instrument to new address.
CALL IBWRT(generator%, "SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR 18")
e) Inform the controller about new address.
CALL IBPAD(generator%, 18)
The GPIB address of the instrument is changed.
