HP-IB Cabling
The recommended method for connecting an HP-m system is linear with the
system controller at one end. However, an HP-IB system can be connected
together in a star, linear, or a combination configuration as long as the
following rules are followed:
•
The total number of devices is less than or equal to 15.
•
It is recommended that no more (han three cable connector blocks be
stacked on top of one another to minimize stress on connector mountings.
•
The connector screws are designed to be tightened with fingers only. The
screwdriver slots in the lock screws are for removal purposes only.
•
For operation with data transfer rates less than 500 Kbytes/sec. the total
length of the all cables used is less than or equal to 2 meters times the
number of devices connected together, up to a maximum of 20 meters.
For example, the maximum cable length for 2 devices is 4 meters. The
length between adjacent devices is not critical as long as the overall
restriction
is
met. Systems should operate normally with up to one third of
the devices powered off. Systems using older devices that do not use
tri
state drivers will be limited to transfer rates of less than 250Kbytes/sec.
•
For operation with data transfer rates over 500 Kbytes/sec, the total
length of the all cables used is less than or equal to 1 meter times the
number of devices connected together, up to a maximum of 15 meters.
You should minimize cable length as much as possible. All devices must
have tri-state drivers and must be powered on. Few instruments are
capable of running at these speeds.
•
Turning a device on or off while a system is running may cause faulty
operation.
HP-lE bus extenders are also available that will allow operation over much
greater distances.
