The RS-232-C, HP-IB, and Centronics Interfaces
The HP-IB interface
The Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HP-IB) is Hewlett-Packard's
implementation of IEEE Standard 488-1978, "Standard Digital
Interface for Programmable Instrumentation." HP-IB is a carefully
defined interface that simplifies the integration of various instruments
and computers into systems.
The HP-IB interface uses an addressing technique to ensure that each
device on the bus (interconnected by HP-IB cables) receives only the
data intended for it. To accomplish this, each device is set to a different
address and this address is used to communicate with other devices on
the bus. The HP-IB address is the only HP-IB interface setting
configurable from the logic analyzer.
The HP-IB address can be set to 31 different HP-IB addresses, from 0
to 30. Simply choose a compatible address for your device and
software. The default address for all HP logic analyzers is 7. In the
System External I/O menu, select HP-IB Settings and then set the
Address field to your address.
