Figure 3 Ć185: Menu Displayed When GPIB is Selected
The instrument can be set to one of four operating modes: talk/listen, waveform
transfer, talk only, or off-bus. However, you should be aware that talk only and
waveform transfer modes are not compliant with IEEE 488.2-1987.
Talk/Listen Select talk/listen mode from the side menu to
communicate with the controller via the GPIB.
When the Talk/Listen Address item is selected, the
operating mode for this instrument and other devices
is set to talk/listen or the general purpose knob and
the numeric keys set the GPIB address for this
instrument. The GPIB address setting range is 0–30.
Other devices on the bus cannot use the address
number allocated to this instrument.
Waveform Transfer Select Waveform Transfer mode from the side
menu to download waveform data. In this mode,
waveform data does not go through the controller; it
is downloaded directly to the internal memory of the
instrument from a digital storage oscilloscope or
other instrument. See Table 3-19 in Section 4D
LOAD/SAVE menu for a list of supported instru-
ments.
