Set the GPIB address
The default GPIB address is 18. You can set the address from 1 to 30 if it is unique in the system.
This address cannot conflict with an address that is assigned to another instrument or to the GPIB
controller.
GPIB controllers are usually set to 0 or 21. To be safe, do not configure any instrument to have an
address of 21.
The instrument saves the address in nonvolatile memory. It does not change when you send a reset
command or when you turn the power off and on again.
To set the GPIB address from the front panel:
1.
Press the
MENU
key.
2.
Select
Communication
.
3.
Select the
GPIB
tab.
4.
Set the GPIB
Address
.
5.
Select
OK
.
You can also set the GPIB address using remote commands. Set the GPIB address with the SCPI
command
:SYSTem:GPIB:ADDRess
or the TSP command
gpib.address
.
LAN communications
You can communicate with the instrument using a local area network (LAN).
When you connect using a LAN, you can use a web browser to access the internal web page of the
instrument and change some of the instrument settings. For more information, see
(on page 3-12).
The 2470 is a version 1.4 Core 2011 compliant instrument that supports TCP/IP and complies with
IEEE Std 802.3 (ethernet LAN). There is one LAN port (located on the rear panel of the instrument)
that supports full connectivity on a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps network. The 2470 automatically detects the
speed.
The 2470 also supports Multicast DNS (mDNS) and DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD), which are
useful on a LAN with no central administration.
