Getting Started
2.1 Inspection
The Parallel488 was carefully inspected, both mechanically and electrically, prior
to shipment. When you receive the interface, carefully unpack all items from the
shipping carton and check for any obvious signs of physical damage which may have
occurred during shipment. Immediately report any damage found to the shipping agent.
Remember to retain all shipping materials in the event that shipment back to the factory
becomes necessary.
Every Parallel488 is shipped with the following....
Parallel488 Bus Converter Interface
138-0920 Instruction Manual
TR-2 Power Supply [110v] or
TR-2E Power Supply [220/230v]
Note: Other accessories ordered may be packaged and shipped separately.
2.2 Configuration
The Parallel488 has two modes of operation; as a parallel to IEEE 488 converter,
or as an IEEE 488 to parallel converter. A DIP switch internal to the Parallel488
determines which one of these modes the product will assume. Also selectable is the
automatic insertion of a line feed character after receipt of a carriage return, and the IEEE
address (for the IEEE to parallel mode only). On the following page are the Parallel488
factory default settings.
