Operation 4–3
4.1.8 GPIB
The General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) is a parallel port which allows communication
between the instrument and other devices such as PCs fitted with a suitable interface card. The
GPIB port allows remote control of the instrument for measurement of components and the
collection of measurement results. For details of GPIB control and commands see section 5.
Devices should be connected to the instrument using a standard GPIB 24-pin connector
assembly with a shielded cable. Use of the standard connector consisting of a plug and
receptacle is recommended and should be compatible with the Amphenol and Cinch Series 57
or Amp Champ.
