Connecting to the Interfaces
CAUTION Electrostatic discharges greater than 1 kV near the interface connectors may cause
the unit to reset and require operator intervention.
B2900 supports GPIB, LAN, and USB interfaces. All three interfaces are live at
power-on. Connect your interface cable to the appropriate interface connector.
Information on configuring the interfaces can be found later in this section.
The front panel LAN indicator is lit when the LAN port is connected and
configured.
B2900 provides Ethernet connection monitoring. With Ethernet connection
monitoring, the instrument’s LAN port is continually monitored and automatically
reconfigured.
