Connect the rear panel BNC.
To connect the Coordinated Measurement Bus (CMB)
Be careful not to confuse the 9-pin connector used for CMB with those used
C A U T I O N
by some computer systems for RS-232C communications. Applying RS-232C
signals to the CMB connector is likely to result in damage to the HP 64700
Card Cage.
To use the CMB, you will need one CMB cable for the first two emulators and
one additional cable for every emulator after the first two. The CMB cable is
orderable from HP under product number HP 64023A. The cable is four meters
long.
You can build your own compatible CMB cables using standard 9-pin D type
subminiature connectors and 26 AWG wire.
Note that Hewlett-Packard does not ensure proper CMB operation if you are
using a self-built cable!
