The oscilloscope is equipped with an HP-IB connector on the rear panel.
This allows direct connection to an HP-IB compatible printer, plotter, or
external controller. Make sure you tighten the captive screws of the HP-IB
cable to ensure a good electrical connection. If you do not have an HP-IB
printer, you can use an HP-IB to Centronics converter, like the HP 92203J or
any of the commercially available converters (like the MicroPrint-45CXA).
You have to set the HP-IB address of the oscilloscope in order to
communicate with the connected device. The oscilloscope’s HP-IB address is
set in the Utility menu.
“HP-IB/RS-232 Menu" in Chapter 11 for information on the HP-IB menu
selections.
