Step 5: Connecting GPIB Instruments

Connecting Multiple GPIB Instruments

The following figure shows a typical way to connect three GPIB instruments to an 82357A. When you have made the connections for your system, go to “Step 6: Programming via the 82357A”.You may want to record the primary GPIB address of each attached instrument for future programming use

NOTE

Although the figure shows 82357A connection to GPIB Instrument 1, the connection can be to any GPIB instrument in the system. Be sure to first connect the GPIB cable to the GPIB instrument and then “piggy-back” the 82357A GPIB connector to the GPIB cable.
