Connectors
IEC 625/IEEE 488
Option: R&S
AREG-B86
GPIB-bus interface for remote control of the instrument.
The IEC 625 interface is in compliance with IEEE488 and SCPI. A computer for remote
control can be connected via this interface. To set up the connection, we recommend
that you use a shielded cable.
Note:
To avoid electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by open lines, always termi-
nate any connected IEC-bus cable with an instrument or a controller.
