System connections

Up to 64 TSP instruments can be used in a test system. The host interface for the test system
can be the GPIB, Ethernet, or USB. For the GPIB, an IEEE-488 cable is used to connect the
computer to one of the Series 3700 instruments. USB and Ethernet also require the appropriate
cables. Keep in mind that only one cable is needed to connect to one of the Series 3700
instruments because communication to the other Series 3700 instruments can be accomplished
over the TSP-Link.
