GPIB interface connection
Use a shielded IEEE-488 cable to connect the Series 3700 IEEE-488 connector
to the GPIB connector on the control computer. Connect one end of the cable to
the host computer and the other end to Series 3700. Both cable connections
(see item 1 in GPIB cable (on page 2-11)) are identical. The GPIB cable
connectors are stackable. For additional non-Series 3700 GPIB instruments in
the test system, daisy-chain a GPIB cable from one instrument to another.
NOTE To minimize interference caused by electromagnetic radiation, use
only shielded GPIB cables. Available shielded cables from Keithley
Instruments are the Model 7006 and Model 7007.
