Remote communication interfaces
You can choose from one of several communication interfaces to send commands to and receive
responses from the Model 2450.
The Model 2450 can be controlled from only one communication interface at a time. The first interface
on which it receives a message takes control of the instrument. If another interface sends a message,
that interface takes control of the instrument.
Supported remote interfaces
The Model 2450 supports the following remote interfaces:
•
GPIB:
IEEE-488 instrumentation general purpose interface bus
•
USB:
Type B USB connection
•
Ethernet:
Local area network ethernet communications
•
TSP-Link:
A high-speed trigger synchronization and communication bus that test system builders
can use to connect multiple instruments in a master and subordinate configuration.
For details about TSP-Link, see "TSP-Link System Expansion Interface" in the Model 2450 Reference
Manual.
GPIB communications
The Model 2450 GPIB interface is IEEE Std 488.1 compliant and supports IEEE Std 488.2 common
commands and status model topology.
