Reference Manual for detailed information on communications interfaces.
Step 1: Connect to the interface
See Figure 1-2 on page 1-6 for the locations of the GPIB (IEEE-488) and RS-232 connectors, and
make connections as follows:
• GPIB – Use a shielded IEEE-488 cable such as the Keithley Instruments Model 7007 to
connect the Series 2600 IEEE-488 connector to the GPIB connector on the computer (see
Figure 2-1).
• RS-232 – Use a shielded 9-pin RS-232 cable like the Keithley Instruments Model 7009-5 to
connect the Series 2600 RS-232 connector to the serial port of the computer
(see Figure 2-2).
