Connect any additional connectors from other instruments as required for your application. Make sure
the other end of the cable is properly connected to the controller. You can only have 15 devices
connected to an IEEE-488 bus, including the controller. The maximum cable length is either two
meters (6.5 feet) multiplied by the number of devices or 20 meters (65.6 feet), whichever is less.
Erratic bus operation may occur if you ignore these limits.
Connect the TSP-Link cable
Connect the TSP-Link connector to one of the TSP-Link connectors on the rear panel of the
instrument.
The location of the TSP-Link connectors on the instrument are shown below.
For an example of setting up a TSP-Linked system, see "Working with a Series 2600A" in the
Models 707B and 708B User's Manual.
