2.8.1.2    GPIB/Address Switch Connector J2

Connector J2 is a 26-pin connector that contains the GPIB external address 

switch signals as well as the GPIB bus signals.  J2 is used when you want 

to use an external GPIB address switch with the 4809A.  The J2 connector 

layout is shown in Figure 2-8 and the signal-pin assignments are listed in 

Table 2-1.  The external address switch inputs are low true signals with pullup 

resistors on the 4809A.  At power turn-on, the 4809A reads the five address 

lines (ADSW1-ADSW5) if the external address switch is enabled.  

Connector J2 mates with ICS’s GPIB Connector/Address Switch Assem-

blies.  These assemblies are small business card size assemblies that mount 

a GPIB connector and a 8-bit rocker switch to the rear panel of a chassis.  

They have a 26 conductor, flat ribbon cable that plugs into J2 on the 4809A.  

The assemblies are available in two layout styles.  Refer to Appendix A3 

for dimensions, installation instructions and silkscreen.  Switch layout and 

rocker functions are shown in Figure 2.7.  Note that rockers 7 and 8 are 

not used by the 4809A.
