About GPIB
GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) is an interface standard for
connecting computers and peripherals, which supports the following
international standards: IEEE 488.1, IEC-625, IEEE 488.2, and JIS-C1901.
The GPIB interface allows you to control the Agilent E5071C from an
external computer. The computer sends commands and instructions to the
E5071C and receives data sent from the E5071C via GPIB.
System Configuration
Use GPIB cables to connect between the E5071C, the external controller
(computer), and peripherals. The following figure shows the overview of
the system configuration of the GPIB remote control system.
Configuration of the GPIB remote control system
While the E5071C is turned off, the SRQ status of the E5071C is
•
active. To prevent an incorrect operation on the SRQ of the
GPIB remote control system, disconnect the E5071C from the
system when the E5071C is turned off.
