Supported remote interfaces
The Model DMM7510 supports the following remote interfaces:
• GPIB: IEEE-488 instrumentation general purpose interface bus
• Ethernet: Local area network ethernet communications
• USB: Type B USB port
• TSP-Link: A high-speed trigger synchronization and communications bus that test system
builders can use to connect multiple instruments in a master-and-subordinate configuration
For details about TSP-Link, see "TSP-Link System Expansion Interface" in the Model DMM7510
Reference Manual.
The rear panel connections for the remote communication interfaces are shown in the following
figure.

GPIB communications
The Model DMM7510 GPIB interface is IEEE Std 488.1 compliant and supports IEEE Std 488.2
common commands and status model topology.
You can have up to 15 devices connected to a GPIB interface, including the controller. The maximum
cable length is the lesser of either:
• The number of devices multiplied by 2 m (6.5 ft)
• 20 m (65.6 ft)
You may see erratic bus operation if you ignore these limits.
