1. With the BOP power off, place the five address switches to the on position (see Figure 2-1
for switch location).
2. Insure a GPIB controller is connected to the BOP via the GPIB cable. Set BOP power to OFF
and set the address switches to the proper GPIB address to be used (refer to PAR 2.2.1, Fig-
ure 2-1, and Table 2-2 for addresses). Set BOP Power on; it may beep three times indicating
it is ready for initialization.
3. Using the GPIB interactive mode, set up the GPIB interface. For a National Instruments card,
it is done by the following steps.
A. Start the interactive GPIB program.
B. Type
ibfind DEVx
where x is the hex address of the BOP.

BOP 200-20, with additional characters indicating the revision level of the firmware.
4. Send the password initialization string of:
SYST:PASS:CEN DEFAULT

5. Send the BOP configuration code. The configuration code format is VOLTAGE,CURRENT;
for example the 100 Volt, 1 Amp BOP 100-1M is identified as 100,1. The sequence to be
sent is:
DIAG:PST 100,1
.
6. Calibrate the unit per PAR. 3.3. Failure to calibrate the unit will result in the *TST? query
reporting a FLASH memory error.
