Once the connections have been made, follow these steps:
1. Power on the instruments: Turn power for the controller, oscilloscope, and
signal source on. The oscilloscope and the signal source must warm up for
20 minutes before you can begin to execute the test. However, while you are
waiting you can continue with the next steps in this procedure.
2. Check the Fluke 9500B GPIB address: Refer to the Fluke 9500B documenta-
tion for information about setting the GPIB address. If the address is set to 0
or 1, change it to an address between 2 and 30 (inclusive). Make a note of
the address setting for use later in this procedure.
3. Set the GPIB address of the oscilloscope.
a. If the oscilloscope powered on in the toolbar mode (the default mode),
click the Menu button (upper right corner of the display) to put the
oscilloscope in menu-bar mode. In menu-bar mode, you should see a
PC-style menu bar across the top of the display.
b. Pull down the Utility menu and then select GPIB Configuration. . . .
This command will display the GPIB Configuration control window.
c. In the GPIB Configuration control window, click the Talk/Listen button
to select Talk/Listen mode.
d. Touch the Address readout and then click the up and down arrows or the
upper multipurpose knob to set the GPIB address to 1.
e. Click the Close button to close the control window.
NOTE. If you are using a separate PC as the controller, do step 4 and its
substeps. If you are using the oscilloscope as the controller, do step 6 and its
substeps, starting on page 5--6.
4. Configure the controller: Use the GPIB software and hardware on the
controller as necessary to make the following settings:
a. Set the controller GPIB address to 0.
b. Define GPIB devices and their addresses for compatibility with the test
program as shown in Table 4--3.
