CONNECTIONS
2.2.1 GPIB
Connection
The GPIB connector on the rear panel (Figure 2-3) connects the SLM-1 chassis to a
controller and to other GPIB devices. A GPIB system can be connected in any
configuration (star, linear, or both), with the following provisions:
• The maximum number of devices including the controller is no more than 15.
• The maximum length of all cables is no more than 2 meters times the number
of devices connected together, up to 20 meters maximum.
Ensure that the lock screws are firmly hand-tightened; use a screwdriver only for the
removal of screws. Figure 2-3 shows the rear panel of the SLM-1 chassis, where the
GPIB connector is located. The GPIB address of the SLM-1 chassis is set on the
front panel (Figure 3-1).
