View. For specifications refer to the data sheet.
IEC/IEEE Bus Interface
The standard instrument is equipped with an IEC/IEEE bus connector. An IEEE 488 interface connector
is located on the rear panel. An external controller for remote control of the instrument can be
connected via the IEEE 488 interface connector using a shielded cable.
Interface Characteristics
8-bit parallel data transfer
bi-directional data transfer
three-line handshake
high data transfer rate
up to 15 instruments can be connected
maximal length of the interconnecting cables 15 m (single connection, 2 m)
wired-OR connection if several instruments are connected in parallel.
