Setting Up a GPIB Remote Control System
This section describes how to set up a GPIB remote control system.
What is GPIB?
GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) is an interface standard for connecting a computer
with peripherals. It complies with these international standards: IEEE 488.1, IEC-625,
IEEE 488.2, and JIS-C1901. With the GPIB interface, you can set up a GPIB remote
control system in which an external computer remotely controls the Agilent 4288A by
sending commands to and receiving data from the unit through the GPIB bus.
How to set up a GPIB remote control system
Use GPIB cables to connect the 4288A to an external controller (computer) and any
necessary peripherals. Figure 2-1 shows a typical GPIB remote control system.
