Agilent E4418B/E4419B Programming Guide 1-3
Configuring the Remote Interface
This section describes how to configure the GP-IB, RS232 and RS422
remote interfaces.
Interface Selection
You can choose to control the power meter remotely using either the
GP-IB, RS232 or RS422 standard interfaces.
For information on selecting the remote interface manually from the front
panel, refer to the Agilent Technologies E4418B/E4419B Users Guides.
To select the interface remotely use the :
SYSTem:RINTerface command
To query the current remote interface selection use the:
SYSTem:RINTerface? command
GP-IB Address
Each device on the GP-IB (IEEE-488) interface must have a unique
address. You can set the power meters address to any value between 0
and 30. The address is set to 13 when the power meter is shipped from the
factory.
The address is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change when
the power meter is switched off, or after a remote interface reset.
Your GP-IB bus controller has its own address. Avoid using the bus
controllers address for any instrument on the interface bus.
Hewlett-Packard controllers generally use address 21.
For information on setting the GP-IB address manually from the front
panel, refer to the Agilent Technologies E4418B/E4419B Users Guides.
To set the GP-IB address from the remote interface use the:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess command.
To query the GP-IB address from the remote interface use the;
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess? query.
