Installing for GPIB Communication

1 2
Connect a GPIB cable from the GPIB controller to the ANSI/IEEE Std 488 port
(GPIB) connector on the rear panel of the realtime spectrum analyzer (see Figure
1-2). For example, when using an MS-DOS compatible controller, connect the
GPIB cable between the National Instrument PC2A GPIB board and the realtime
spectrum analyzer GPIB connector.

Instruments can be connected to the GPIB in linear or star configurations or in a
combination of both configurations. A linear hookup is one where a GPIB cable
is used to string one device to a second, and then another GPIB cable is used to
string from a second to a third, and so on until all devices in the system are
connected. A star setup is one where one end of all the GPIB cables in the
system are attached to one device. Refer to Figure 1-3 for these GPIB system
configurations.
