Connecting Peripherals

To connect to an GPIB printer

Printers connected to the logic analyzer over GPIB must support GPIB

and Listen Always. When controlling a printer, the analyzer's GPIB port

does not respond to service requests (SRQ), so the SRQ enable setting

does not have any effect on printer operation.

1 Turn off the analyzer and the printer, and connect an GPIB cable

from the printer to the GPIB connector on the analyzer rear

panel.

2 Turn on the analyzer and printer.

3 Make sure the printer is set to Listen Always or Listen Only.

For example, the figure below shows the GPIB configuration switches

for an GPIB ThinkJet printer. For the Listen Always mode, move the

second switch from the left to the 1 position. Because the instrument

doesn't respond to SRQ EN (Service Request Enable), the position of

the first switch doesn't matter.
