If you are using USB cables to connect the computer and 2470 instruments, each instrument must be
connected to the computer with a separate USB cable.
If you are using ethernet connections to connect the computer and 2470 instruments, the instruments
and computer must be connected using an ethernet switch or hub.
Connections for the TSP command set
If you use the Test Script Processor (TSP
®
) command set for remote programming, use a RJ-45 LAN
crossover cable to connect the TSP-Link ports on the rear panels of the 2470 instruments (see figure
below). For more information about using TSP-Link, see "TSP-Link System Expansion Interface" in
the 2470 Reference Manual .
Figure 30: TSP-Link connections
For GPIB communication from the computer to the 2470 instruments, you only need one cable from
the GPIB interface to one of the 2470 IEEE-488 interfaces (2470 #1 in the figure above).
Set the TSP-Link node of 2470 #1 to node 1 and the TSP-Link node of 2470 #2 to node 2.
