Adding Additional Instruments
Additional instruments are added to the GPIB configuration using the process described
earlier. The steps are summarized as follows and assume the GPIB cable has been con-
nected between the computer and the new instrument.
1. Turn on the “next” L4400 instrument. Do not turn on those instruments whose
addresses are still set to the default address of ‘9’.
2. Open the Agilent Configuration Expert “Add Instrument” window and select the
instrument’s GPIB address in the “configurable properties” window (Figures 2-16 and
2-17).
3. Open the Agilent Connection Expert “Interactive IO” window (Figure 2-18). Change
the instrument’s GPIB address using the command:
SYSTem:COMMunication:GPIB:ADDRess < address >
4. Change the address in the Agilent Connection Expert’s configuration table to the new
instrument address (Figure 2-20).
5. Verify the communication path to the new address.
