About GPIB Fundamentals

Description

Changes the analyzer to a GPIB system controller or a talker/listener on the bus. The analyzer must be the controller if you want to use it to send commands to other instruments. The analyzer must be a talker/listener if you want to send it commands from another PC.

Note: This command has no affect in VNAs with dedicated Controller and Talker/Listener GPIB connectors.
