What is GPIB?
GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) is one of the interface standards for connecting a
computer and peripheral devices and complies with IEEE 488.1, IEC-625, IEEE 488.2 and
JIS-C1901, which are worldwide standards. Using the GPIB interface allows you to control
the Agilent 4294A from an external computer. The computer sends commands and
instructions through the GPIB to the 4294A and receives data sent from the 4294A.
