IEEE-488 Bus Restrictions
These restrictions apply to all IEEE-488 systems:
• A single IEEE-488 bus system can have a maximum of 15 devices
connected.
• The maximum length of IEEE-488 cable used in one IEEE-488 system is
either 2 m (6.56 ft) times the number of devices in the system, or 20 m
(65.61 ft), whichever is less.
IEEE-488 Bus Setup Procedure
To set up the Product on the IEEE-488 bus, choose the address and connect to
a controller. To set up the bus:
1. With the Product off, attach the IEEE-488 cable to the rear panel IEEE-488
connector. Fluke Calibration recommends shielded cables Y8021 (1m),
Y8022 (2m), or Y8023 (4m) from Fluke.
2. Push  to turn on the Product.
3. Touch Setup Menu>System Settings>Remote Port.
4. The IEEE-488 bus address for the Product is shown in the GPIB Setup
region. To change the address, touch the editable field and enter a new
address with the numerical keys.
5. If the Active Remote Port is not GPIB, touch Active Remote Port and then
touch GPIB.
6. Touch Exit to exit the Remote Port Menu.
