1 Installing and Configuring the 82350

Example: Connecting Multiple GPIB Instruments

Figure 1- 9 shows one way to connect three GPIB instruments to an Agilent 82350 GPIB Interface Card. You may want to record the primary GPIB address of each attached instrument for future programming use. After making the connections, reconnect the PC power cord and apply power to the PC and attached peripherals/instruments.

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