SW1 Default Mode Switch Settings
Switches 1 through 3 are used to configure the SCSI ID. Switch 1 is the most
significant bit, and Switch 3 is the least significant bit. For example, if Switches 1
through 3 are set to OFF, ON, ON, the SCSI ID is 3.
Switches 4 through 8 are used to configure the power-on primary GPIB address.
Switch 4 is the most significant bit, and Switch 8 is the least significant bit. For
example, if Switches 4 through 8 are set to OFF, OFF, OFF, ON, OFF, a primary
address of 2 is indicated. The largest primary address that can be set is 30.
The default settings of Switches 1 through 3 are ON, OFF, ON, respectively, to
select the SCSI ID of 5. Switches 4 through 8 are OFF, indicating that the GPIB
primary address of the GPIB-SCSI-A is 0.
