Disabling the Optical Output

If the optical output is enabled (that is, the green LED is lit), you
can disable it by pressing E
You can connect your GPIB interface into a star network, a linear
network, or a combination star and linear network. The limitations
imposed on this network are as follows:
• The total cable length cannot exceed 20 meters
• The maximum cable length per device is 2 meters
• No more than 15 devices may be interconnected on one bus.
