The HP 37717C Communications Performance Analyzer (Option A3B or A3D) is
connected to the HP-IB by means of an appropriate HP-IB cable.The HP-IB
interconnecting cables available are listed in the following table.
HP-IB Interconnecting Cables
To achieve interface design performance standards, restrictions are placed on the
HP-IB system cable lengths. These restrictions allow the bus interface electronics to
maintain correct line voltage levels and timing relationships.
When connecting an HP-IB system the following rules should be observed:
The total HP-IB cable length used must be less than or equal to 20 meters (65.6
feet).
The total HP-IB cable length used must be less than or equal to 2 meters (6 feet)
