Installing and Configuring the 82350 1

2Connect GPIB Cables to the 82350. Connect a separate GPIB cable to each installed 82350. Tighten the GPIB connector screws finger- tight only. (The screwdriver slots are for removal purposes only.) Two examples follow showing how to connect a single GPIB instrument or how to connect multiple GPIB instruments.

For information or to purchase Agilent GPIB cables, see www.agilent.com/find/io

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.
