GPIB Requirements
Observe these rules when using your OA 5000 with a GPIB network:
H Each device on the bus must be assigned a unique device address; no
two devices can share the same device address.
H Do not connect more than 15 devices to any one bus.
H Connect one device for every 6 feet (2 meters) of cable used.
H Do not use more than 65 feet (20 meters) of cable to connect devices to
abus.
H At least two-thirds of the devices on the network must be turned on
while the network is operating.
H Connect the devices on the network in a star or linear configuration as
shown in Figure 3-2. Do not use loop or parallel configurations.
