IEEE488 Interface Setup
Throughout this section of the manual, the use of a National Instruments AT-GPIB®
IEEE488 controller board in an IBM AT (or compatible) is assumed. If you are
using a different controller or a controller card from another vendor, then the exact
methods used will differ from those shown. If you are using a computer with a built-
in interface (such as the Hewlett-Packard series 300 and similar computers) then no
configuration is usually required.
Configure each interface via the 6000 instrument’s front panel using the
SETUP
key
in the
CONTROL
keypad and selecting the
Interface
option line. Interfaces for
controlling the instrument must be selected as being “Control” type interfaces.
Other than enabling the interface to act as a control interface, setting the desired
address and connecting the IEEE488 cable, you need not perform any specific
configurations on the instrument. Note that as with all IEEE488 instruments and
devices, ensure that the selected address does not conflict with any other devices in
the system. When using the instrument with the National Instruments controller card
(and with many other cards for the IBM AT) do not select an instrument address of
zero, as this will conflict with the address of the card.

Caution:
To prevent unreliable operation of both the bus and the computer device
names should not also exist as file, directory, or sub-directory names within the
computer system as documented in the National Instruments manual. Additionally,
when operating in a network environment, use names that are cryptic to reduce the
probability of this kind of duplication occurring.
Notes:
1)
Verify that the address matches what is configured in the instrument. These
instruments do not use secondary addressing.
