Configuring the Interface
When the HP BenchLink/Arb application is started, it searches for any
supported IEEE-488 interface hardware and software installed in your
PC and any instruments connected to the interface. If an IEEE-488
interface card with connected devices is not found, HP BenchLink/Arb
checks the serial ports for any devices.
HP BenchLink/Arb will try to connect to the function generator using
HP-IB at address 10 or on serial port COM2 at 9600 baud. If any of these
default settings do not match the actual interfaces or devices, select
Options | Configure Interface to display the Setup Interface dialog
box. This dialog contains information relating to the interface type and
any devices connected to your PC.
Select the interface type by clicking on the arrow of the INTERFACE
drop-down list and clicking on your choice. The controller address or
serial port displayed is the IEEE-488 controller address or serial port
that HP BenchLink/Arb will use to communicate with your function
generator.
