A driver with a GPIB interface has been created. Now, configure the driver to be used in your system.

To configure the driver in the system:

2.      Select the Interface page.

3.      Select Gpib from the combo box list for Interface.

4.      Change the address to 1. This indicates that the driver is configured to use board address 1. Set the GPIB Primary address to 1 and the Secondary address to be None (no secondary is used). Your screen should now look like the following:

At this point, your driver is configured and ready to send and receive data from the GPIB interface board to GPIB address 1 where your instrument resides.
