gpib attribute
The following attribute is used to set the GPIB address.
Attribute GPIB address.
Usage address = gpib.address -- Reads address.
gpib.address = address -- Writes address.
address Set from 0 to 30.
Remarks • A new GPIB address takes effect when the command is processed. If there are response
messages in the output queue when this command is processed they must be read at the
new address.
• The user should allow ample time for the command to be processed before attempting to
communicate with the instrument again. After sending this command, make sure to use
the new address to communicate with the instrument.
• The GPIB address is stored in non-volatile memory. The reset function has no effect on
the address.
Details See “GPIB operation” in Section 11.
Example Sets the GPIB address of the Series 2600 to 26 and then reads the address:
gpib.address = 26
address = gpib.address
print(address)
Output: 2.600000e+01
localnode attribute
Use the attributes and functions in this section to set the power line frequency, control prompts (on
and off), control error messages, (show and hide), to access global variables, and to run test

There are two different ways to use the localnode object.
• Send commands from the local node
• Send commands from a remote node
To send commands from the local node, use the localnode element:
localnode.linefreq = 50
NOTE Use the node reference to send commands from a remote node, do
not use the localnode element.
