Notes on Connection
Firmly tighten the screws on the GP-IB cable connector.
On the PC end, use a GP-IB board (or card) made by National Instruments. For details, see
section 11.1.
The 2558A may not operate properly if the 2558A is connected to the PC through converters (such
as a GP-IB to USB converter). For more details, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.
Multiple cables can be used to connect multiple devices. However, no more than 15 devices,
including the controller, can be connected on a single bus.
When connecting multiple devices, you must assign a unique address to each device.
Use cables that are no longer than 2 m in length to connect devices.
Make sure the total length of all cables does not exceed 20 m.
When devices are communicating, have at least two-thirds of the devices on the bus turned on.
To connect multiple devices, wire them in a daisy-chain or star configuration as shown below.
You can also mix these configurations. Loop configuration is not allowed.
