4.1 Configuring and Connecting the Instrument
127
You can use the GP-IB interface to control the instrument using command communications.
Items to verify before configuring settings and connecting to the instrument
GP-IB
• Commands common to IEEE-488-2 1987 (requirement) can be used.
• The instrument complies with the following standard. (Compliance standard: IEEE-488.1 1987
*1
)
• The instrument has been designed with reference to the following standard. (Reference standard: IEEE-
488.2 1987
*2
)
If the output queue becomes full, a query error will result, and the output queue will be cleared. Conse-
quently, the instrument does not support the output queue clearing and query error output requirements in
the deadlocked state*

as defined by IEEE 488.2.

3 Deadlocked state: A state in which processing cannot be continued because the input buffer or output buffer is full.
4.1.3 Using the GP-IB Interface
• Turn off all devices before connecting or disconnecting interface connectors. Failure
to do so may result in electric shock.
• Be sure to connect the cable to the target device’s GP-IB connector. Connecting the
cable to a connector with different electrical specifications may cause electric shock
or equipment damage.
• To avoid equipment damage, do not short-circuit the connector or input a voltage.
After connecting, be sure to tighten the connector screws. If the connector is not secured,
operation may fail to meet specifications, and damage could result.
Use the LAN, RS-232C, or GP-IB interface. Using multiple interfaces simultaneously may cause the instru-
ment to malfunction, for example by interrupting communications.
