3.1 Overview of Communication
21
You can control the instrument with communication commands from a computer via the USB, GP-IB, RS-
232C and LAN interfaces.
There are the following four communication methods. To enable communication, the communication condi-
tions need to be set on the instrument.
The instrument is communication class compatible.
• Commands common to IEEE-488-2 1987 (requirement) can be used.
• The instrument complies with the following standard. (Compliance standard: IEEE-488.1 1987)
• The instrument has been designed with reference to the following standard. (Reference standard:
IEEE-488.2 1987)
Model IM3523/ IM3523A

3.1 Overview of Communication
• Always turn both devices OFF when connecting and disconnecting an interface
connector. Otherwise, an electric shock accident may occur.
• To avoid damage to the instrument, do not short-circuit the terminal and do not
input voltage to the terminal.
• Failure to fasten the connectors properly may result is sub-specification perfor-
mance or damage to the equipment.
• To avoid damage, do not disconnect the communications cable while the instrument is
sending or receiving data.
• Use a common ground for both the instrument and the computer. Grounding them to dif-
ferent ground points will result in a potential difference between the instrument's ground
and the computer's ground. If the communications cable is connected while such a poten-
tial difference exists, it may result in equipment malfunction or failure.
• Before connecting or disconnecting any communications cable, always turn off the instru-
ment and the computer. Failure to do so could result in equipment malfunction or damage.
• After connecting the communications cable, tighten the screws on the connector securely.
Failure to secure the connector could result in equipment malfunction or damage.
