The GP-IB Interface Bus
The GP Interface Bus is the interface used for communication between a
controller and an external device, such as the Agilent 81130A. The GP-IB
conforms to IEEE standard 488-1987, ANSI standard MC 1.1, and IEC
recommendation 625-1.
If you are not familiar with the GP-IB, please refer to the following
books:
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers: IEEE Standard
488.1-1987, IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Programmable
Instrumentation.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers: IEEE Standard
488.2-1987, IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, and Common
Commands for Use with IEEE Standard 488.1-1987.
