Precautions to Be Taken When Making
Connections
• Firmly tighten the screws on the GP-IB cable
connector.
• Multiple devices can be connected to a single GP-IB
system. However, no more than 15 devices
(including the controller) can be connected to a
single system.
• When connecting multiple devices, each device
must have its own unique address.
• Use a cable of length 2 m or less for connecting the
devices.
• Make sure the total cable length does not exceed
20 m.
• When communicating, have at least two-thirds of
the devices 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.
