GPIB Interface Configuration
The GPIB connector on the rear panel connects your power supply to the computer
and other GPIB devices. Chapter 1 lists the cables that are available from Agilent
Technologies. An GPIB system can be connected together in any configuration (star,
linear, or both) as long as the following rules are observed:
• The total number of devices including the computer is no more than 15.
• The total length of all the cables used is no more than 2 meter times the number
of devices connected together, up to a maximum of 20 meters.
Note IEEE-488 states that you should exercise caution if your individual cable lengths
exceed 4 meters
Do not stack more than three connector blocks together on any GPIB connector. Make
sure that all connectors are fully seated and that the lock screws are firmly finger
tightened.
