To set up peripherals.
You may connect peripherals to three ports—one GPIB port, one serial port, and
one parallel port. GPIB peripherals may include printers, plotters, and external
disk drives. Supported serial devices are plotters and printers. Certain printers
are parallel devices.
1 Connect the ports of your peripheral and analyzer with the correct cables. See
“Preparing the Analyzer for Use” for information on physical connections.
2 Turn on the peripherals.

Repeat this step for each GPIB peripheral.
4 Set up serial peripherals:
Refer to your serial device’s documentation to select correct setup parameters.
Press [
