Option IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface (10)

Option R&S NG-B105 provides an IEEE-488 (GPIB) bus interface.

Ground terminal (11)

M4 screw provides connection to earth ground through the instrument ground/
chassis.

Kensington security slot (12)

A Kensington lock can be anchored to the R&S

 

NGP800 power supply housing to

secure it to a workstation mechanically.

Channel connectors (13, 14)

Output terminals

Either the channel output terminals at the front panel or rear panel can be
used. Using both terminals at the same time can cause instrument malfunc-
tion.

The channel terminal blocks contain connections to both outputs (“+”,”-“) and
remote sense (“+Sense”,”-Sense”). Terminal block for channel 3 and channel 4
are only available for a 4-channel instrument.

Digital I/O & analog input connector (15)

A 16-pin terminal block provides connection to both digital I/O (option NGP-K103)
and analog input (option NGP-K107). See 

Figure 4-3

 for pin assignment of the

terminal block.
