Figure 11 Connecting a Single GPIB Instrument
You may want to record the primary GPIB address of the attached
instrument for future programming use. Or you can use Connection
Expert to create programming aliases that are meaningful to you. After
making the connections, reconnect the PC power cord and apply power
to the PC and to attached peripherals/instruments.
Example: Connecting Multiple GPIB Instruments
Figure 12 shows one way to connect three GPIB instruments to an
Agilent GPIB interface card. You may want to record the primary GPIB
address of each attached instrument for future programming use; or you
can use Connection Expert to create programming aliases that are
meaningful to you. After making the connections, reconnect the PC
power cord and apply power to the PC and attached
peripherals/instruments
