The GPIB Address Configuration dialog is used to specify the GPIB communication parameters, for the communication with a measurement device.
 Primary Address
|
The primary address specifies the address of the device, so if the device you want to configure is on address is on 20 you enter 20. Please consult the manual of the device how to get the GPIB address of the device. |

Shows and enables the more advanced configuration parameters. |
| GPIB Board
|
With GPIB Board you can specify the GPIB board that is used. The default value is 0 and can only be different when multiple GPIB boards are present. |
| Secondary Address
|
The second address is default 0, and should only be changed when needed. For further information please look in the help of National Instruments 488.2. |
| GPIB Delay
|
GPIB delay is the delay between GPIB reading and writing actions. Some older IEEE 488.2 machines have difficulty communicating with fast PC's (> 2.5 GHz). This is most of the time noticeable when a driver is sometimes working and some times gives a GPIB (EABO or TIMO) error. These errors are most of the time, generated randomly. Specifying a GPIB delay time of 3000 uSeconds can fix these random errors. Run the test again and see of the problem as disappeared. Is the problem has disappear then your problem was timing, if not please contact your reseller and report the problems you are having. |
