Configuring the Remote Interface
This section gives a brief description on configuring the remote interface.
For further information on using the power meter remotely, refer to the
HP EPM-441A/442A Programming Guide.
HP-IB Address
Each device on the HP-IB (IEEE-488) interface must have a unique
address. You can set the power meter’s address to any value between 0
and 30. The address is set to 13 when the power meter is shipped from the
factory.
The address is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change when
the power is switched off, or after a remote interface reset.
Your HP-IB bus controller has its own address. Avoid using the bus
controller’s address for any instrument on the interface bus.
Hewlett-Packard controllers generally use address 21.
To set the HP-IB address from the front panel:
1. Press , . The current setting of the HP-IB address
is displayed under the softkey.
2. To change this setting press . The power meter
displays the address in a pop up window. Modify this address (see
below) as desired.
■ Use or to modify the digit on which the cursor is
currently positioned.
■ Use or to move to other digits.
3. To confirm your choice press .
To set the HP-IB address from the remote interface use the:
• SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess command.
