SCANNING CONFIGURATIONS
The SC6540 is available in two basic configurations according to how it sends
and/or receives data: a Main and a Secondary. A Main Scanner can only be
controlled remotely via a PC. A secondary Scanner can be controlled locally by
an Associated Research testing instrument or by a Main Scanner.
MAIN
A Main Scanner communicates directly with a PC via a USB/RS-232 (standard),
GPIB interface, or Ethernet. This model receives control information from a PC
and can also deliver instructions to up to four additional Secondary Scanners.
A Main Scanner can be distinguished by its power module located on the
upper left side of the rear panel.

SECONDARY
A S
econdary Scanner only receives data. The data that the Secondary
receives can come from a Main Scanner (remote control) or directly from an
Associated Research instrument (local control). A Secondary Scanner can be
distinguished by its input control bus located on the upper left side of the
rear panel.
