Configuring the HP 33120A Function/Arbitrary
Waveform Generator
HP BenchLink/Arb supports both RS-232 and IEEE-488 communications
from the PC to the HP 33120A Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator.
This section describes how to set up your function generator so that
communications can be established when you run HP BenchLink/Arb.
Using the function generator front panel, the instrument must be placed
in the HP-IB or RS-232 interface mode. If using HP-IB, the function
generator must be given a unique address.
The HP 33120A Function Generator User’s Guide contains complete
descriptions of these procedures. The general procedure to set the
interface is:
Shift
Menu On/Off 1 Turn on the function generator menu.
A: MOD MENU
< < 2 Move across to the I/O Menu.
E: I/O MENU
∨
> 3 Move down and across to the Interface command.
2: INTERFACE
∨
4 Move down to select HP-IB or RS-232 interface parameters. If choosing
RS-232, you must also check the baud rate and parity commands in the
I/O Menu. The baud rate default is 9600; the parity default is none with 8
data bits.
Enter 5 Save the changes. For more information about these menus, see your
function generator user’s guide.
