Figure 4. Typical GPIB Connections
A total of 15 devices can be connected together on the same GPIB bus. The
cables have single male/female connectors on each end so that several cables
can be stacked. The length of the GPIB cables must not exceed 20 meters (65
feet) total, or 2 meters (6.5 feet) per device, whichever is less.

You can change the multimeter's GPIB address using the ADDRESS
command. Refer to "Changing the GPIB Address", in Chapter 2, for a
procedure on how to change the GPIB address. The multimeter leaves the
factory with the address set to decimal 22. The corresponding ASCII code is
a listen address of 6 and a talk address of V.
Note
The examples in this manual are intended for Hewlett-Packard Series
200\300 computers using the BASIC language. They assume a GPIB
interface select code of 7 and a device address of 22 resulting in a combined
GPIB address of 722.
Mounting the
