Obtain the Proper Interconnect Cabling. To connect the oscilloscope to a GPIB
network, obtain at least one GPIB cable. Connecting two GPIB devices requires
an IEEE Std 488.1-1987 GPIB cable (available from Tektronix, part number
012-0991-00).
The standard GPIB cable connects to a 24-pin GPIB connector located on the
rear panel of the oscilloscope. The connector has a D-type shell and conforms to
IEEE Std 488.1-1987. You can stack GPIB connectors on top of each other. (See
Figure 3–76.)

To set up remote communications, be sure your setup will meet GPIB protocol
and interface requirements just described. Then do the following procedures.
Connect the Oscilloscope to the GPIB. To connect the oscilloscope, plug an IEEE
Std 488.2-1987 GPIB cable into the GPIB connector on the oscilloscope rear
panel and into the GPIB port on your controller. (See Figure 3–77.)
