Chapter 3 Programming Your Universal Counter for Remote Operation

Configuring the HP-IB

To Connect the Counter to a Computer

Connect the Counter to a computer by simply installing an HP-IB cable (such as an HP 10833A cable) between the two units as shown in Figure 3-1.

Remote/Local Operation

At power-up, the Counter is under front-panel (local) control. Once in remote, the Counter settings cannot be affected by the front-panel controls. The Save & Print key may be used to manually return to local control (only if local-lockout is off).
