What is GPIB?
GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) is an interface standard for connecting
computers and peripherals that supports the following international standards:
IEEE 488.1, IEC-625, IEEE 488.2, and JIS-C1901. The GPIB interface allows
you to control the Keysight E4980A/AL from an external computer. The
computer sends commands and instructions to the E4980A/AL and receives
data sent from the E4980A/AL via the GPIB.
System configuration
Use GPIB cables to make connections between the E4980A/AL, the external
controller (computer), and peripherals. Figure 8-1 shows an overview of the
GPIB remote control system’s configuration.
