Figure 29: IEEE-488 connector
To allow many parallel connections to one instrument, stack the connectors. Two screws are located
on each connector to ensure that connections remain secure. The figure below shows a typical
connection scheme for a multi-unit test system.
CAUTION
To avoid possible mechanical damage, stack no more than three connectors on any one unit. To
minimize interference caused by electromagnetic radiation, use only shielded IEEE-488 cables.
Contact Keithley Instruments for shielded cables.
To connect the Model 2651A to the IEEE-488 bus, line up the cable connector with the connector
located on the rear panel. Install and tighten the screws securely, making sure not to overtighten them
(the following figure shows the location of the connections).
