The Rs-232-C, Hp-Ib, And Centronics Interfaces - HP 1660CS-Series User Manual

The RS-232-C, HP-IB, and Centronics Interfaces

This section describes the controller and printer interfaces and their
configurations found in the System External I/O menu. It defines the
HP-IB interface and describes how to select a different HP-IB address.
It also defines the RS-232-C interface and tells you how to select a
baud rate, how to change the stop bits, how to set the parity and data
bits, and how to change the protocol. The Centronics (parallel)
interface (printer only) is also described.
Controller interface
The logic analyzer is equipped with a standard RS-232-C interface and an
HP-IB interface that allow you to connect to a controller. Either interface
gives you remote access for running measurements, for uploading and
downloading configurations and data, and connecting to printers. If you
purchased the optional Ethernet LAN interface, it can also be used for
controlling the logic analyzer.
Printer interface
The logic analyzer can output its screen to various HP-IB, RS-232-C, and
Centronics graphics printers. Configured menus as well as waveforms and
other data can be printed for complete measurement documentation. Even
with the optional Ethernet LAN interface installed, the analyzer cannot use a
networked or shared printer.
See Also Chapter 2, "Connecting Peripherals" for more details on physically connecting
equipment.
