6.3 GPIB
6.3.1 GPIB Overview
GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) allows external control of the 6166 source value settings, parameter
settings and data reading, making it simple to configure an automated measurement system.
As GPIB signals from the 6166 are electrically isolated inside the unit from the source signal system, the
connection of external devices does not affect the source values.
The remote commands are shared by USB.
