GPIB Command Conventions

SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:[:SELF]:ADDRess

Function

Sets/queries the test set's GPIB address.

Setting

Range: 0 to 30

Resolution: 1

Query

Range: 0 to 30

Resolution: 1

Factory setting

14 (this parameter is not affected by any reset operation and can only be changed by direct user access)

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:COMMUNICATE:GPIB:SELF:ADDRESS 14"
!Sets the GPIB address to 14.

SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:DEBug[:STATe]

Function

Sets/queries the test set's SCPI debugger state.

When the state is on; enhanced error messages (displayed when GPIB commands with syntax errors are detected) will be displayed on the test set display. Also, all GPIB commands will be displayed in red characters at the bottom left area of the test set's display.

The error message is printed along with the syntax. <ERR> is displayed at the end of the incorrect node. Non-printable characters will be replaced with the $ symbol.

See Error Messages for a list of the errors.

The debugger state should be used only during GPIB code development. Test times may be longer than necessary if the debugger state is left on.

Setting

Range: 0|OFF | 1|ON
Query 0|1

*RST setting

0|off

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:COMMUNICATE:GPIB:DEBUG:STATE ON"

SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN[:SELF]:ADDRess[:IP4]

Function

Sets/queries the test set's LAN IP address. The value of A is used to determine the subnet mask, see SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN[:SELF]:SMASk[:IP4] .
