The DataPro 1488 series cable is
commonly used to extend an HPIB or
GPIB bus (used by Hewlett-Packard).
This stands for Hewlett-Packard
Interface Bus or General Purpose
Interface Bus, and is also known
as IEEE 488.
The usual application for this cable
is with laboratory test equipment.
It is an 8-bit parallel interface for
stringing up multiple communicating
instruments for control by a single
computer and/or other instruments.
Both ends are dual CN24M and CN24F
connectors with screw-locks; thus
each GPIB cable added to the bus
also serves as an extension cable.
The wiring diagram is 24 conductors
wired straight-through.
Product Features:
· Meets IEEE 488 and ANSI/IEEE 488.2 standards
· Allows for digital 8-bit parallel (bi-directional) data transfer
· Instrument communication up to 8 Mbytes/s and up to 14 instruments
· Expand in linear, star, or circular patterns between devices
