Installing the 82357A
Step 5: Connecting GPIB Instruments

Connecting Multiple GPIB Instruments

The following figure shows a typical way to connect three GPIB
instruments to an 82357A. When you have made the connections for
your system, go to “Step 6: Programming via the 82357A”.You may want
to record the primary GPIB address of each attached instrument for future
programming use

NOTE

Although the figure shows 82357A connection to GPIB Instrument 1,
the connection can be to any GPIB instrument in the system. Be sure
to first connect the GPIB cable to the GPIB instrument and then
“piggy-back” the 82357A GPIB connector to the GPIB cable.
