Note
Because HP-IB cables can be connected together, more than one instrument can
communicate on the HP-IB. This means that both a printer and a plotter can
be connected to the spectrum analyzer (using two HP-IB cables). Each device
must have its own HP-IB address.
Note
Because the spectrum analyzer cannot print with two controllers (the computer
and the spectrum analyzer) connected, the computer must be disconnected
from the HP-IB. In most cases, it is sufficient to simply turn the computer OFF.
