Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up your GPIB system.
Setting up and Configuring Your System
Devices are usually connected with a cable assembly consisting of a
shielded 24-conductor cable with both a plug and receptacle connector at
each end. With this design, you can link devices in a linear configuration,
a star configuration, or a combination of the two configurations. Figure 1-1
shows the linear and star configurations.
