General purpose interface bus (GPIB)
The GPIB interface built into the 2050T series enables the signal generators to be remotely
controlled to form part of an automatic measuring system.
GPIB cable connection
Connection to other equipment which has a 24-way connector to IEEE Standard 488 is made using
the rear panel GPIB socket. For this purpose, the GPIB cable assembly, available as an optional
accessory, (see Chap. 1 'Accessories') may be used.
GPIB connector contact assignments
The contact assignments of the GPIB cable connector and the device connector are as shown in
Fig. 2-2.
