Hardware Interfaces
The following section describes the remote-control interfaces of the signal generator. All other
interfaces are described in Chapter 1, sections "Legend for Front Panel View" and "Legend for Rear
Panel View". For specifications refer to the data sheet.
IEC/IEEE Bus Interface
The instrument can be equipped with an IEC/IEEE bus connector (option R&S SMC-K4, GPIB/IEEE488
Interface). The IEEE 488 interface connector is located on the rear panel. An external controller for
remote control of the instrument can be connected via the IEEE 488 interface connector using a
shielded cable.
Interface Characteristics
• 8-bit parallel data transfer
• bi-directional data transfer
• three-line handshake
• high data transfer rate
• up to 15 instruments can be connected
• maximal length of the interconnecting cables 15 m (single connection, 2m)
• wired-OR connection if several instruments are connected in parallel.
