Connecting the Counter to a Computer
To program the Counter to operate remotely, you need to interface the
Counter with a computer. The HP 53150A, 53151A, and 53152A
Microwave Frequency Counters provide two interfaces for remote,
computer-controlled operation
—
HP-IB and RS-232. The following sections
describe how to connect and configure both interfaces for remote Counter
operation.
To Connect With the HP-IB
To connect the Counter to a computer using the HP-IB, install an HP-IB
cable (such as the HP 10833A cable) between the two units, as shown in
Figure 3-1.

Configuring the HP-IB
The Counter’s HP-IB operates in Addressed (talk/listen) mode, which
provides bi-directional communication. The Counter can receive
commands and setups from a computer, and it can send data and
measurement results. There is one configurable setting related to HP-IB
communication—the HP-IB Address.
