{GPIB/RS-232}
Sequences through the GPIB/RS-232 enable and bus parameters. The
selections are IEEE-488 Address, Baud Rate, Full/Half Duplex, and Remote
Enable/Disable. These are not plug-in module dependent.
IEEE-488 Address determines the listen/talk address of the GPIB This value can
be set to any nonconflicting address between 0 and 30.
Baud Rate determines the baud rate for the RS-232. It can be set to 300, 600,
900 or 1200.
Full Duplex/Half Duplex determines whether characters will be echoed back
through the RS-232. With Full Duplex, each character sent to the 6040 will be
echoed back; for Half Duplex no echoing takes place. The selection of full or half
is made with the {+/-, SGL/DBL) key, which toggles between the two.
Remote Enable/Remote Disable determines whether the instrument may be
operated through the RS-232 or GPIB interface. Remote Enable allows full
control of the unit via RS-232/GPIB. Remote Disable only allows the unit to be
queried for parameter and Mode settings. The selection of Enable or Disable is
made with the {+/-, SGL/DBL) key, which toggles between the two.
Front Panel Display:

Memory Keys
These keys allow the storage (retrieval) of a complete panel setting to (from) the "ith" memory in the
module. To store (retrieve) a panel setting, press STORE (RECALL) followed by the "ilh" digit. This
causes the immediate transfer to (from) memory: the ENTER and EXEC keys are not used to terminate
the memory transfer.
