Step 4. Set GPIB address
The GPIB address setting in the properties must match the actual GPIB address of the mainframe.
The address for the switch system mainframe is briefly displayed during its power-on sequence.
To set the GPIB address:
1. Select the GPIB Address from the list. Addresses that are in use are displayed with asterisks (*)
next to them. The range of addresses is 0 to 30 (GPIB address 31 is reserved as the 4200A-SCS
controller address). If the selected GPIB address conflicts with the GPIB address of another
system component, a red exclamation-point symbol (!) is displayed next to the selected address.
2. Select Save to save the change.
You can programmatically read the GPIB address and other instrument properties from the system
configuration using the LPT library getinstattr function. Proper use of getinstattr allows you
to develop user libraries that are independent of the configuration. For more information, refer to
Model 4200A-SCS Parameter Analyzer KULT and KULT Extension Programming.
