Connecting Instruments to GPIB
Step 3: Connect Instruments to GPIB Card
Example: Connecting Multiple GPIB Instruments
This figure shows one way to connect three GPIB instruments to an Agilent
82350 GPIB Interface Card. You may want to record the primary GPIB
address of each attached instrument for future programming use. After
making the connections, reconnect the PC power cord and apply power to
the PC and attached peripherals/instruments
.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the connectors, only finger-tighten the connectors.
NOTE
Although the figure shows cable connections to GPIB Instrument 1,
the connection can be to any GPIB instrument in the system.
