SECTION 6 GPIB

6.3 Connecting the GPIB Cable
A GPIB cable must be connected for remote control by the GPIB. The MG3641A/MG3642A supports the GPIB
cable connector on the rear panel.
CAUTION
Turn the POWER switch off and unplug the power cord before connecting and disconnecting the GPIB cable.
This is because only the signal common line of the cord may rarely be cut before the others depending the cord
connection-disconnection method. In this case, if the power remains turned on, the AC leak voltage, etc. is
superimposed to the IC, and the circuit parts may be damaged.
A system using GPIB is restricted as follows. The device must be connected according to the following conditions:
• Number of connectable devices ≤15
• Total cable length ≤2 m × Number of devices (max. 20 m)
