Connects the instrument to a PC using GP-IB.
Address (Address)
• You can select a value between 0 and 30.
• Each device that is connected in a GP-IB system has its own unique address. This address is used to
distinguish between different devices. Therefore, you must assign a unique address to the instrument when
connecting it to a PC or other device.
When the controller is communicating with the instrument or with other devices through GP-IB, do not change
the address.
Notes about Connections
• Multiple cables can be used to connect multiple devices. However, no more than 15 devices, including the
controller, can be connected on a single bus.
• When connecting multiple devices, you must assign a unique address to each device.
• Use cables that are 2 m or shorter in length to connect devices.
• Make sure the total length of all cables does not exceed 20 m.
• When devices are communicating, have at least two-thirds of the devices on the bus turned on.
• To connect multiple devices, use a star or daisy-chain configuration. Loop and parallel configurations are
not allowed.
