Installation Procedure

  • Turn off the power and remove all measurement leads and other cables, including the power cord, from the instrument before continuing.
  • Use the Torx driver to remove the screw from the GPIB cover plate. Retain the screw for use later in this procedure. Then remove the cover plate by sliding it to the left.




    • Retain GPIB Cover Plate

    After installing the GPIB option, retain the cover plate for use in the event that you ever remove the GPIB option. The instrument should never be connected to power or inputs on the measurement terminals without either the GPIB module or the cover plate securely covering the rear-panel opening.

  • Locate the connector, just inside the unit, for the cable attached to the GPIB module


  • Bend the cable so that it is extends above the circuit board. Attach the cable to the connector that was located in the previous step.


  • Put the module into the unit and slide the GPIB board to the right so that it is flush against the instrument's sheet metal. Use the screw that was removed above to secure the GPIB plate in place.


    • This concludes the GPIB installation procedure.
