To set the primary address remotely:
gpib.address = address
To set the primary address remotely to 20:
gpib.address = 20
Note that changing the GPIB address takes effect when the command is processed. Any response
messages generated after processing this command are sent with the new settings. If command
messages are being queued (sent before this command has executed), the new settings may take
effect in the middle of a subsequent command message, so be careful when setting this attribute from
the GPIB interface.
GPIB terminator
When receiving data over the GPIB, the instrument terminates messages on any line feed character
or any data byte with EOI asserted (line feed with EOI asserted is also valid). When sending data, it
appends a line feed character to all outgoing messages. The EOI line is asserted with the terminating
line feed character.
Front-panel GPIB operation
This section describes aspects of the front panel that are part of GPIB operation, including messages,
status indicators, and the LOCAL key.
Error and status messages
The front-panel display may show error and status messages. The instrument can be programmed to
generate a service request (SRQ), and command queries can be performed to check for specific
error conditions.
Communication status indicators
The remote (REM), talk (TALK), listen (LSTN), and service request (SRQ) indicators show the
communication bus status. Each of these indicators is described in the following table.
REM
This indicator is illuminated when the instrument is in the remote-control state. When the instrument is
in the remote-control state, all front-panel keys, except for the EXIT (LOCAL) key and OUTPUT
ON/OFF control, are locked out. When REM is off, the instrument is in the local-control state and
front-panel operation is restored.
