Getting Started
The oscillosco
pe has a USB 2.0 High speed device port to control the oscilloscope
through USBTMC or GPIB with a TEK-USB-488 Adapter. The USBTMC
protocol allows USB devices to communicate using IEEE488 style messages.
This lets you run your GPIB software applications on USB hardware.
Before setting u p the oscilloscope for remote communication using the electronic
(physical) GPIB interface, you should familiarize yourself with the following
GPIB requirements:
A unique device address must be assigned to each device on the bus. No two
devices can share the same device address.
No than 15 devices can be connected to any one line.
One device should be c onnected for every 6 feet (2 meters) of cable used.
No than
65 feet (20 meters) of cable should be used to connect devices to a bus.
At least two-thirds of the devices on the network should be powered on while
using
the network.
Connect the device s on the network in a star or linear configuration. Do not
use l
oop or parallel configurations.
To function correctly, y our oscilloscope must have a unique device address. The
def
ault setting for the GPIB c onfiguration is GPIB Address 1.
To change the GPIB address settings, do the following:
1. On the front panel, push Utility.
2. Push Utility Page.
3. Select I/O with the Multipurpose knob.
4. Push GPIB.
5. Enter the GPIB address on the side-bezel menu, using the multipurpose knob.
This will set the GPIB address on an attached TEK-USB-488 Adapter
The oscilloscope is now set up for bidirectional communication with your
controller.
