4. Ensure that all IEEE-488 cable screws are fastened finger-tight.
Cable Lengths
The maximum length of all cables connecting instruments to one busLAC/E is 2 meters
multiplied by the number of devices (or 20 meters, whichever is smaller).
The maximum length of cable between devices is 4 meters.
Note: The maximum number of devices to be connected together is 14.
1.3.2 Setting the IEEE-488 Address
To set the IEEE-488 address for the 2996 Detector:
Use a small screwdriver (or similar device) to set the IEEE-488 switches on the detector
rear panel (Figure 1-4) to the IEEE-488 address of the 2996 Detector. The address must be
a number from 2 to 29 and must be different than that of any other component connected
to your acquisition server.
Refer to the Millennium
