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:
