Example: Connecting a single GPIB instrument

Figure 1- 8 shows connections from a single GPIB instrument to the GPIB connector of an 82350 installed in your PC. You may want to record the primary GPIB address of the attached instrument for future programming use. After making the connections, reconnect the PC power cord and apply power to the PC and to attached peripherals/instruments.

CAUTION To avoid damage to the connectors, only finger-tighten the connectors.
