Digital Port Connections - Keysight Technologies N6705C Operating And Service Manual

2 Installation
3. Use the Connection Expert utility of the Keysight IO Libraries Suite to add the power analyzer and
verify a connection. To add the instrument, you can request the Connection Expert to discover the
instrument. If the instrument cannot be found, add the instrument using its hostname or IP address.
If this does not work, refer to "Troubleshooting Guidelines" in the Keysight Technologies
USB/LAN/GPIB Interfaces Connectivity Guide included with the Keysight IO Libraries
Suite.
4. You can now use Interactive IO within the Connection Expert to communicate with your instrument,
or you can program your instrument using the various programming environments. You can also use
the Web browser on your computer to communicate with the instrument as described under
Web Interface.

Digital Port Connections

An 8-pin connector and a quick-disconnect connector plug are provided on each instrument for
accessing the five digital control port functions. The digital control connector accepts wires sizes from
AWG 14 to AWG 30. Note that wire sizes smaller than AWG 24 are not recommended. Disconnect the
connector plug to make your wire connections.
1. Insert wires
2. Tighten screws
3. Signal common
4. Digital IO signals
5. FLT/INH signals
6. Output couple controls
It is good engineering practice to twist and shield all signal wires to and from the digital
connectors. If shielded wire is used, connect only one end of the shield to chassis
ground to prevent ground loops.
Pin Functions
The following table describes the possible pin configuration for the digital port functions. For a
complete description of the electrical characteristics of the digital I/O port, refer to the product
Specifications.
