5.2.3 GPIB addressing
AD2817C's GPIB address is stored in non-volatile memory and can be set to any address
from 0 to 30 by front panel key entry in the System Config page. When AD2817C is
shipped from the factory, the default GPIB address is 8. For more information, refer to
" 4.2.16 GPIB Address".
5.2.4 GPIB bus function
AD2817C will respond to the following bus commands.
ABORT I/O (IFC)
z
ABORT I/O (IFC control line TRUE) halts all bus activity and deselects AD2817C.
DEVICE CLEAR (SDC or DCL)
z
This command can be used with an address to clear a particular device (SDC : selected
device clear) or used without an address (DCL : clears all devices). The Input buffer is
cleared, output data buffer is cleared and bit 4 (MAV bit) of the status byte is set to "0",
when AD2817A receives this command.
LOCAL (GTL)
z
LOCAL returns control of a listening device to front panel control.
REMOTE (RMT)
z
REMOTE sets AD2817C to the remote mode. When this command is sent, front panel with
the exception of LOCAL softkey will be disabled.
TRIGGER (GET)
z
It enables AD2817C to the TRIGGER bus command. This command may be sent to a
selected device or to all devices addressed as listeners on the GPIB bus. AD2817C must
first be addressed as a listener, second the trigger mode is set to the BUS trigger mode
before the trigger message is sent. This command is equal to the SCPI command
TRIG+FETCh? or the common command *TRG.
