NOTES:
A direct Agilent SAS is connected to the controller interface and must have a unique primary GPIB bus address.

The linked configuration uses 1 or more linked units connected to each direct unit. Each linked unit has a unique
secondary GPIB bus address and derives its primary address from the direct unit.
