34 Making Electrical Connections to the 600 Controller
2. Connect the other end of the cable (stackable connector for daisy-chaining
additional instruments) to the IEEE-488 connector on the 600 controller rear panel.
3. If you are using the 600 controller as part of a multicomponent configuration (as
illustrated in Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4), connect a second IEEE-488 cable to the
“stackable” connector on the 600 controller. Connect the other end of the cable to
the IEEE-488 port on the next component.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each additional component.
Note: The maximum total cable length between IEEE-488 devices is 65 feet (20
meters). The maximum recommended cable length between two IEEE-488 devices
is 13 feet (4 meters). Longer total cable lengths can cause intermittent IEEE-488
communication failures.
5. Ensure all IEEE-488 cable screws are fastened finger-tight.
6. Set a unique IEEE-488 address between 2 and 29 for each device connected on the
IEEE-488 bus (see Section 3.3.3, Setting IEEE-488 Addresses).
Note: Perform the correct IEEE-488 powerup sequence for the data system as described
in Section 3.3.4, Performing IEEE-488 Powerup Sequence.
