9.3 Setting up the IEEE-488 Port for Remote Control

The CL3001 is fully programmable for use on a standard IEEE-488
interface bus. The IEEE-488 interface is also designed in compliance
with supplemental standard IEEE-488.2, which describes additional
IEEE-488 features. Devices connected to the IEEE-488 bus are
designated as talkers, listeners, talker/listeners, or controllers. Under
remote control of an instrument, the CL3001 operates as a
talker/listener.
A PC equipped with an IEEE-488 interface controls the CL3001.
When using the IEEE-488 remote control interface, there are two
restrictions:
• A maximum of 15 devices can be connected in a single IEEE-
488 bus system.
• The total length of IEEE-488 cables used in one IEEE-488 bus
system is 2 meters times the number of devices in the system,
or 20 meters, whichever is less.
See section 8 for instructions on configuring the CL3001 for IEEE-
488 (GPIB) operation, including selecting the interface and the bus
address.
A typical IEEE-488 (GPIB) connection is shown in Figure 32. See
section 2.5 for the location of the IEEE-488 (GPIB) port on the rear
panel of the CL3001.
