IEEE 488 Interface
The interface complies with IEEE 488 standard.
The IEEE 488 parallel interface connects a computer/controller to one or more PACE
instruments and other instruments.
Up to 30 instruments can be connected through a high-speed data bus to the computer/
controller.
Note: The length of each IEEE 488 cable must be less than 3 metres to comply with the EMC
requirements (Ref: Section 6,
Reference and Specification).
Single Unit Installation (Ref: Figure 2-9)
1. Connect an IEEE 488 connector/cable assembly to the rear panel of the instrument.
2. Connect the other end of the connector/cable assembly to the IEEE 488 connector on
the controller/computer.
3. Change the IEEE 488 communication parameters (Ref: Section 6.7, Supervisor set-up).
Multiple Unit Installation (Ref: Figure 2-9)
To install multiple units use stacking plugs to
link the first instrument and second
instrument as follows.
1 Connector to rear panel of first
instrument (Ref Illustration).
2 Connector from controller/computer
(Ref Illustration).
3 Connector to rear panel of second
instrument (Ref Illustration).
4. Connect the IEEE 488 connector on
the controller/computer and the other
connector into the next instrument.
5. Repeat this procedure for all the instruments in the system.
6. Use the Supervisor set-up (communications) menu on each instrument to set-up the
required communication parameters (Ref: Section 3.8, Supervisor set-up).
