IEEE 488 Interface
The interface complies with IEEE 488 standard.
The IEEE 488 parallel interface connects a computer/controller to one or more PACE1000
instruments and other instruments.
Up to 30 instruments can be connected through a high-speed data bus to the computer/controller.
Note: The length of each IEEE 488 cable must be less than 3 metres to comply with the EMC
requirements (Ref: Data sheet).
Single Unit Installation (Figure 2-8)
1.
Connect an IEEE 488 connector/cable assembly to the rear panel of the instrument.
2.
Connect the other end of the connector/cable assembly to the IEEE 488 connector on
the controller/computer.
3.
Change the IEEE 488 communication parameters (Ref: Supervisor set-up, Section 6.7).
Multiple Unit Installation (Figure 2-8)
To install multiple units use stacking plugs to link
the first instrument and second instrument as
follows:
1
Connector to rear panel of first
instrument (Ref Illustration).
2
Connector from controller/computer
(Ref Illustration).
3
Connector to rear panel of second
instrument (Ref Illustration).
4.
Connect the IEEE 488 connector on
the controller/computer and the other
connector into the next instrument.
5.
Repeat this procedure for all the instruments in the system.
6.
Use the Supervisor set-up (communications) menu on each instrument to set-up the
required communication parameters (Ref: Section 3.8).
