To connect an external monitor

Chapter 2: Preparing for Use

5Attach the 25-pin “D” connector to the serial input port of the printer. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the cable.

6Set the printer configuration to use the serial interface. Refer to the User’s Quick Start Guide for software installation instructions.

See the documentation for your printer if you have questions about configuring the printer to use the serial interface.

To connect an external monitor

You can connect a VGA-compatible monitor to the Infiniium oscilloscope to provide a larger viewing area.

•Connect the monitor cable to the display board video connector at the rear panel of the oscilloscope. Tighten the retaining screws.

To connect the GPIB cable

•Attach the GPIB connector to the GPIB interface card connector at the rear of the oscilloscope. Tighten the thumbscrews on the connector.
