About the USB-GPIB Adapter

To use GPIB control, the USB-GPIB Adapter is needed to make the
connection from your PC to your WaveStation.

The USB-GPIB adapter connects the USB host interface on your product to
the GPIB bus controller and command set. The GPIB and USB on the
adapter conforms to IEEE 488.2 and USB 2.0, respectively.

The USB connection provides all necessary power.

LED indicators in the Signal Generator provide an adapter
connection status.

GPIB controls can interface with compatible Teledyne LeCroy
oscilloscopes and, if desired, a GPIB address may be used.

NOTE: The GPIB interface specifically supports Device (and not Controller)
mode.
