Preparing the Analyzer for Use
Agilent 35670A
To connect the analyzer to an GPIB device
To connect the analyzer to an GPIB device
The analyzer is compatible with the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (GPIB). The
GPIB is Hewlett-Packard's implementation of IEEE Standard 488.1. Total allowable
transmission path length is 2 meters times the number of devices or 20 meters,
whichever is less. Operating distances can be extended using an GPIB Extender.
GPIB peripherals include HP-GL plotters, PCL printers, and SS-80 external disks.
•
Connect the analyzer's rear panel GPIB connector to an GPIB device using an GPIB
interface cable.
Caution
The analyzer contains metric threaded GPIB cable mounting studs as opposed to
English threads. Use only metric threaded GPIB cable lockscrews to secure the cable
to the analyzer. Metric threaded fasteners are black, while English threaded fasteners
are silver.
For GPIB programming information, see the Agilent 35670A GPIB
Programming Reference.
