Remote Communication
Reference
3Ć128
To set up remote communications, ensure that your oscilloscope is physically
cabled to the controller and that the oscilloscope parameters are correctly set.
Plug an IEEE Std 488.2–1987 GPIB cable into the GPIB connector on the
oscilloscope rear panel and into the GPIB port on your controller (see Fig-
ure 3-66).

Figure 3-66: Connecting the Digitizing Oscilloscope to a Controller
To set remote communications parameters:
Press SHIFT UTILITY ➞ System (main) ➞ I/O (pop-up).
Port Selection
Now you need to configure the port to match the controller (see Figure 3-67).
Press SHIFT UTILITY ➞ System (main) ➞ I/O (pop-up) ➞ Port (main) ➞
GPIB (pop-up) ➞ Configure (main) ➞ Talk/Listen Address, Hardcopy
(Talk Only), or Off Bus (side)
H
Choose Talk/Listen Address for normal, controller-based system opera-
tion. Use the general purpose knob or the keypad to define the address.
H
Use Hardcopy (Talk Only) to use the hardcopy port of your digitizing
oscilloscope. Once the port is configured this way, the oscilloscope will
send the hardcopy data to any listeners on the bus when the HARDCO-
PY button is pressed.
If the port is configured any other way and the HARDCOPY button is
pressed, an error will occur and the digitizing oscilloscope will display a
message saying the selected hardcopy port is currently unavailable.
H
Use Off Bus to disconnect the digitizing oscilloscope from the bus.
