gpib attribute
The following attribute is used to set the GPIB address.
Attribute
GPIB address.
Usage
address = gpib.address
-- Reads address.
gpib.address = address
-- Writes address.
address
Set from 0 to 30.
Remarks
• A new GPIB address takes effect when the command is processed. If there are response
messages in the output queue when this command is processed they must be read at the
new address.
• The user should allow ample time for the command to be processed before attempting to
communicate with the instrument again. After sending this command, make sure to use
the new address to communicate with the instrument.
• The GPIB address is stored in non-volatile memory. The
reset
function has no effect on
the address.
Details
See “

• Send commands from a remote node
To send commands from the local node, use the
localnode

localnode.linefreq = 50
NOTE Use the node reference to send commands from a remote node, do
not use the
localnode
element.
